It's a great pleasure to be welcoming you back! We feel honored to have your company five days a week, all year round. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to see all one's friends so regularly? Well, that's the thought that inspired this week's theme, “Keeping in Touch”. And to explain the meaning of our theme, we bring you the first edition of October 2006. Enjoy!
