26 Dec Report from the XIX Gathering
Dear Members and Friends of the Polish Business Club in Jakarta.
First, I would like to thank all of you who found time and joined us last Thursday. For the second time in the row, the number of gatherers surpassed 60.
That evening, as the pre-Christmas Gathering, was very unique with a lot of fun, and for some also quite fortunate.
For the first time we had organized some extra sponsors, who donated many vouchers for dinners/lunches to the Lucky Draw.
Naturally, this time all of our guests were willing to decorate our cork board with they name cards, and some even created them with pen and paper at the last moment before the Lucky Draw started.
I would like to thank all of our sponsors that evening, starting with the Asian Tigers Mobility
www.asiantigers-mobility.com for sponsoring all of our 6 events this year. I hope that we will be able to extend our business relationship for the year 2015 and your logo and representatives will be present during our next year gatherings.

As the temperature in the room was rising and more and more of our guests were wining different vouchers and bottles of wine, we continued and successfully finished the auction of our precious possession – the autographed Manchester United jersey. As you might remember the money collected from this auction will be donated to the ISCO Foundation http://iscofoundation.org which is active in bringing education to over 2,500 disadvantaged children in Indonesia.
Our member Dagfinn Kvammen for the second time has shown his generosity and warm heart. He decided to share his happiness and wealth with those who need it, and offered 20,000,000 Rp for that jersey. Another 2,500,000 Rp was donated to this project by Matt, also our Club’s member.
Once again THANK YOU Dagfinn & Matt
Together with Dagfinn we went last Wednesday to deliver the money to the ISCO Foundation, which happened to be the
Alpenstammtisch International” (ASI) International Networking
