An impressive Alumni Event!

Did you know...

...that the foreword of the annual report 91/92 of AIESEC in Zurich was written by Michael Gorbatschow (sad that no one believed it at that time).

...some members sent out their very first email in the AIESEC office.

...that one of the main reasons to go to an AIESEC conference was to match the SNs and TNs (for a company it was only possible to get TNs twice a year).

...it took the ancient EB (about 15 years ago) a whole meeting to discuss about the "investment" to buy news rack for the office, luckily it's still alive, so it was worth it. :-)

...that it might happen that you marry the trainee, you pick up from the airport.

...there are people, who pick up trainees in their army clothes. These trainees had a very good first impression of Switzerland...

...that invariably all of the Alumnis I met, still meet their AIESEC friends regularly.

Sounds too good...
The thing is that my traineeship starts in 1.5 weeks, which means no more holidays until the end of March :-(
Maybe I can make it to Wallis around Christmas, there we can have a coffee on the top of a mountain...
