Preschool AGM 2012

Dear preschool families
 
Finally spring is here. Spring is the time for several great and important activities. One of them is the THIS Preschool’s Annual General Meeting (AGM).
 
This year our AGM will be held in the canteen on Wednesday 9th of May at 17.00. Under the menu Governance (or the link http://this.no/preschool-agm-2012/ ) you will find the invitation to the AGM with additional documents. The annual report and the preschool bylaws are official documents and must therefore be in Norwegian. The board will make sure that there is an English translation of the bylaws in the future.
 
Please note that preschool staff and children will prepare a preschool art exhibition from 15.30 on the same day. The board wish to invite the preschool families and staff for a vegetarian soup with bread from 16.00. The preschool will arrange for babysitting during the AGM.
 
We hope to see you on the 9th of May.
