VIP invitation

Subject: VIP invitation

FYI,

Dear colleagues,

Let me share something with you. Last year the first Friday of school I received an invitation to go to a TGIF. Being my first time hearing about TGIF, I went because I normally go wherever I am invited.

There are several things that characterize UNIS; for instance we have our MS Staff meetings, MESH meetings, M1, M2, M3 and M&Ms classes… God!! All named by acronyms that were difficult for an ETL* person like me.

Anyway, I really think that TGIF is a very nice tradition and really helps us to get together, to get to know our colleagues out of school and to have a better working environment (if that is possible…).

I am having a TGIF in my place this coming Friday the 20th. You do not have to RVSP. You need to make up your mind ASAP and save the date, if you feel like coming, just do so… it will be my pleasure. Any time after 4.15pm
