What next?
- Events - we need to improve our communication and make easy-to-use routines for spreading information in the Danish community at large.
- Strategic thinking - we need to improve our planning so everybody is well informed in good time.
- Appreciation - we need to strengthen our fellowship and be inclusive to new people - apply a “bring-a-friend” thinking.
- Contemplation - we need to offer small events and services which address the quieter approach to the message.
2011 - a very busy year

- Our building project is moving ahead
- our volunteers are doing wonders
- there is an optimistic and positive spirit among us
- New things introduced are successful
