4. October plans
You know that you are required to organize activities, but I want you to do something you like and have fun. As I told at the meeting we are ding it because we want to share with others what we know and get involved.
In October FLEX promotion contest continues.
At the end of the month you'll get to know the winners and prizes. Also we will have the final list of CRs who successfully passed the probation period and we will have an amazing conference!!!
But before that by September 30th I need to see your plans of activities for October.
