Sound like interesting event, I think maybe we can arrange a nice cocktail
for the volunteers and other people who will want to "celebrate" with us -
and them show them the movie in a cinema here, and arranging such a panel
after that.

I will be happy to know if the foundation will can arrange the chapters who
want to do that..
