Installation Party
Hi everybody,
As every semester, I will be organizing an installation party in the
Technion. Alas, we will have to wait till the student strike is over.
Rumors say it will be over by the weekend, and so we can make it next
week.
As for sponsorship from PF1, it is always welcome.
Shachar.
