[APAC-Discuss] Beijing APRALO Showcase

[Salanieta T. Tamanikaiwaimaro]

Hi Fouad,

That's precisely what I was suggesting in my earlier emails. Get the ALSes
involved. Get them to participate in the design. Also there are some who
will fund their way to get to the event and others who may have trouble but
this is something that the Logistics/Planning will have to make
considerations of.

Warm Regards,
Sala
