Week 35 - Special Easter Edition

From the President

Wishing you all had a very happy and safe Easter holiday, with lot of fun (and chocolate) with your families. 

Easter is a time of  reflection and celebration, with the giving and receiving of (chocolate or otherwise) eggs which represent new life and rebirth, as this ancient custom became a part of Easter celebrations. In the medieval period, eating eggs was forbidden during Lent (the 40 days before Easter) so on Easter Sunday, tucking into an egg was a real treat!

Meanwhile I hope you took a break, enjoyed what life has to offer and continue to spread goodwill and cheer wherever you go!
