Newsletter No. 49 - August 2014 From the President Dear APIBA Members, Long time no read! I’m pleased to be in touch with you once again on behalf of APIBA’s Executive Committee to share news and announcements. Once again this year we held our Annual Fellowship Lunch on August 23. The new edition of this event, which was first held in 2011 to celebrate APIBA´s 40th Anniversary, gave us all, APIBA Members and friends of our Association, a great opportunity to get together to strengthen bonds, have some fun and toast to many more years of commitment to the English teaching profession. There´s a lot on our plate for this second part of the year. Winter holidays have renewed our energy and given us a lot of ideas and enthusiasm to work hard to ensure that our members get the best possible training sessions in ELT. Stay tuned and read on! Best regards, Virginia López Grisolía APIBA President presidente@apiba.org.ar
