Very dear friends,

We are still motivating many countries to let us, finally, have all the details necessary to the printing of our book of members. The detailed missing one's are to be found a little further in this message.

I participated at the last US Congress August 22nd and 23rd. Together with some 300 other persons. Perfectly organised, with the right balance of working sessions and entertaining activities. I congratulate Shujaat and everyone involved for all the work they put into it and, of course, I congratulate Maurice Dancer at being elected Président of the US section during their General Assembly.

I shall be in Hong Kong next week  "Celebration of the society of the Golden Keys of Hong Kong 25th Anniversary"  and in Lugano on September 22nd for an evening organised by "Bucherer" (and of course will take the opportunity to discuss with them the best way in which we will be operating as regards to ordering Golden Keys).

By then Cannes will be just around the corner  for an Executive Committee meeting together with the zones Directors. Reminder of the dates ... arrival Oct. 28 for 3 nights at the Majestic Barriere. An "ordre du jour" will be sent to the one's involved in advance.

It is time again to start thinking at the second parution of the International review and yet again, I rely on all of you to send your articles to Virginia in good delays.

Many of you have logged in informations about your country in the new Website. Do not hesitate to update at your good wishes ...

I'd like all Zones Directors to have one meeting within their zones before Copenhagen where, each one of them will make a report of at the General Assembly.

To all the National Presidents who have not updated their files in 12 rue Cambon in Paris, I remind that it is their duty to complete them with all the informations relating your country that you have been asked for in Vienna.

If I had a wish right now, it would be to see all nations represented in Copenhagen, each one presenting a newcomer "young recruit" of "Les Clefs d'Or".

List of countries per  zone for which we have not received the necessary elements " List of board , photo of President  , detailed list of members" (and forgive me if I make a mistake) :

For Asia :  Phillipines, Thailand, Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore
For Oceania : Australia
For Western Europe : Ireland
For Central Europe : Germany ,Czech Republic , Russia
For Mediterraneen : Italie, Egypt

Please send your files in the good format to Mrs. Virginia Casale your International Secretary...

I wish you all the very best, hoping that the one's having had their holidays had plenty of their thought for the working one's  !!!

ROGER
