Thank you : Summer picnic 2016!
Dear Members and Well-wishers,
We hope you all had a great Summer time! As you all know we had our Summer outing/cricket carnival organized together with the Geneva Sri Lanka Cricket Club (GSLCC) for members and friends on the 3 September at the Bout du Monde Cricket ground.
What a great day of fun and frolic did we have that day! It was so good to see a huge turn out from all parts of Switzerland. And then reviving the old practice of POT LUCK made a huge difference in addition to the BBQ! It was simply a mouth-watering spread of Sri Lankan food that was dished out and we trust all enjoyed.
I would like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU one and all, for making it another memorable event in our annual calendar. If it was not for you the event would not have been fun. Your lively presence together with the ‘pot luck’ you had contributed that day made it a really successful event.
As you know the Geneva Sri Lanka Cricket Club has been a long standing ally of the SLAG and we wish to thank them, especially Mr. Sunil Perera for getting us the ground for our wonderful Summer outing this year.
We would also like to thank our Ambassadors, H E. Mr. Ravinatha Ariyasinghe and H E. Mr. R.D.S. Kumarartne for gracing the occasion amidst their busy schedules. We are inspired and encouraged by your presence.
I would also make use of this opportunity to remind those who have not yet paid your membership and to those who would like to become members to do so via the payment slip that will be sent by mail as well. The success of this Association going forward will only depend on your active participation and support!
SAVE THE DATE: Please do make a note in your diary that our Annual Year End Party will be held on 10 December 2016 at Salle polyvolente d’ Aire, 11 Chemin du Grand-Champ, 1219 Aïre from 6.30 pm onwards. We want to make it another memorable evening with great music and sumptuous Sri Lankan cuisine. So keep this date free and bring your friends too. More information will follow.
Finally, my sincere thanks and gratitude to all my EXCO members for their untiring efforts. Without you I would not have been able to do all what we have achieved. Thank you so much!
Best regards,
Lalantha Sirisenage – President SLAG
