Yolonda van Riel, Tilburg International Club President

Where are we now?

As I write this message, I am singing You Spin Me Round by Dead or Alive in my head because I feel like we are spinning round again back to the old corona rules! Like many of you, I’m back to working mostly from home and taking my meetings online, yet I am allowed to go on an international business trip because those rules have been lifted. It’s getting hard to keep up!!

Fun Times

Your tic board is also constantly shifting from in-person to online events and perhaps we may even be able to do some in a hybrid fashion. We had a great Welcome Event by Restaurant RAW this year and it was so nice to see everyone in person and catch up with what’s been going on in each other’s world. We have also arranged some other nice things like GLOW Eindhoven, an English comedy show, movie night and book club. Hopefully you were able to join us for some of those fun events. New Board Member!

I would also like to welcome Katie Schweitzer to the board as our new treasurer! We are so very pleased to have her as part of the team. Check out her bio on the website – it should be posted shortly.

Commitment to our Members

With fall in full swing and the holidays around the corner, be sure to watch for some fun and informative events coming up. We will monitor the new rules closely and adjust our events accordingly but hopefully we will be seeing each other again, in person, very soon.

Stay healthy!

Yolonda
