Congratulations to all the new officers, Phoebe for her selection/election
and Arne for his reelection. With the growth of the foundation and the
projects that is expected in the coming year(s) I don't envy the position
you guys are all in but greatly admire the willingness you all have to help
and guide the foundation down a path that I think could be both bumpy and
vastly important.

Good luck Michael and thank you for all your work (again a big time of
growth within the foundation and projects). We better keep seeing you
around. :)
