[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC 16th Anniversary Celebration in Dublin?

[Benjamin Akinmoyeje]

Hello All,
I totally support the 16th Anniversary celebration. I hope I can make it to
Dublin..it would be such a blast.

As long as there are other eager members ready to celebrate, I believe we
have a party.
In other to move forward with the plan.. I suggest there should be party
organizing team...just to coordinate the event, nothing too formal.

Thanks Bill,

Just my thoughts,
Benjamin
