IN BRIEF

In this issue you will find 2 tables concerning our research to improve contact
with our members. We are expecting your help, especially in finding those
members we have no news of. Thank you in advance.

2021: We continue to endure this strange situation. But pensioners can now access the
Palais des Nations.... Only on foot.

Building H: What to call it since we always say the New Building for Building E?
(picture on cover page)

For the time being it is not yet fully functional and we have asked the Administration to
find solutions for the access of pensioners as it will be a challenge from public transport.

Pre-retirement seminar: We were able to participate in this virtual seminar which
brought together the different organisations in Geneva.

Volunteering: 2 new highly motivated people have joined us. This will enable us to be
even more effective in meeting the needs of our members.

Translation assistance: We use deepl software, but rely on our friend Elisabeth
Belchamber for the most important texts.

Please note that references to private companies were suppressed in articles about the
Day Tree and the World Forum.

2020 : « A VERY PECULIAR YEAR »

It will be remembered even if 2021 turns out to be even worse than the previous one.

At the level of our association, our activity has been disrupted, to say the least.

We even feared that we would disappear as the future seemed so bleak.

You will therefore find below a summary of our activities, a "non-report" one might say.
With the indentation, you will find on the one hand our objectives, i.e. our raison d'être,
and on the other hand their achievement despite the difficulties of the situation.
