Alumni Newsletter February - April 2016
Dearest Alumni Family,
Hoping that you enjoy our latest news. We have been travelling again and it was lovely that so many graduates managed to see old friends from Galilee Institute in their own countries.
Thank you too, for all the kind remarks regarding the last newsletter, they were most appreciated, I wish that I could answer them all personally, but I am delighted to say, there were far too many :-) However, all emails with questions were answered and always will be.
Just to remind you that we have not added too many photographs to the first page, but do click READ MORE, as there are many more photographs and information.
Warmest regards from all here,
Shalom,
Sallee
