Dear [[first_name]] [[last_name]] Esq.,
|
2018 went speeding along and now here we are, full stop, brakes to the floor, on this last official day of business for the IPBA Secretariat. It certainly was an eventful year at the IPBA, with regional conferences all over the world. We even scored a coffee mug from the Regional Conference in Chile, thanks to Rafael Vergara! It's great for bad wine from the hotel convenience store, hot coffee in a can from a vending machine, or even just plain old coffee (which this writer is enjoying right now). Cheers! |
 |
No matter what religion you practice or don't practice; no matter which nation's culture you observe or don't observe; no matter if you have riches galore or just enough to get by, we are all tied together by the true spirit of this season: peace, love, family, friends, the joy of giving, and . . . food! May you have an abundance of everything now and throughout the year.
 |
The IPBA Secretariat wishes you a very
happy holiday season!
The Secretariat will be closed
Thursday, December 27th through Thursday, January 3rd.
We look forward to serving you again in 2019!
Rhonda Lundin • Yukiko Okazaki • Izumi Van den Bergh
