the Netherlands Chapter #215

The board of our chapter was very happy to invite all members for the AGM. As the COVID lockdown was not as strict as is it was before, we were able to join again with keeping social distance.
The AGM was successful, and the financial reports and proposals for the activities in the coming year were agreed. In the afternoon we had a wonderful demonstration by Mrs. Noriko van Lit – Suzuki who is very well-known for her excellent arrangements and choice of materials. The demonstration was a feast for everyone’s eyes, with lots of technical explanations. With the assistance by Mrs. Joke Metz during the demonstration, everything went very smooth and inspiring. Then, Mrs. Van Lit gave a workshop with excellent materials in the second half of the afternoon. All members were excited about the results and being together after a long time.
