Re: [SFD-discuss] All the best for your SFD event

by Frederic Muller - DFI

Hi guys! I'm just back from my SFD with the Hong Kong team (as a surprise guest) where I had a great time. It is very nice to read all your responses (which I didn't expect) and the nice individual success stories. It really makes me wish I could attend all your events (I'd have to either be able to teleport and/or live a few more hundred years) For teams who haven't received their pack I would recommend to make a 'thank you' party or dinner with your team/user group and use the goodies to present your report or debriefing. The banner might be a bit overkill but I'm sure the t-shirts, balloons, iron-on stickers and the paper stickers will be well appreciated. Then do keep the "left-overs" as you'll be able to use them next year at 2013 SFD :D Thank you.
