[EURO-Discuss] R: [EURALO-Event-Org-Tf] REMINDER: EURALO Single Issue call - DUBLIN General Assembly Preparation call

Tue Jul 21 21:29:46 UTC 2015

I leave to the two of you to debate what is dinner time in Switzerland.
For my part, I have no problems in postponing or anticipating one hour my dinner once a month.
Cheers,
R.
