„Last word“ for all Charta friends from Zagare Town Chief Stase Eidukiene

Dear Charta friends,
Seems not so long ago we were going to our first annual Charta meeting in 2007 to Lassee.
We were enjoying our trip, companions (Latvians, Slovaks) and had no idea what events are waiting for us...

Over the past few years, we spend a lot of unforgettable moments together, while living in families we gained a lot of friends, we felt like real European citizens. However, years have changed year, on December 2011 I retired.

I’ll continue to follow chart events, I’ll voluntary contribute to the events that will be organized in Lithuania and will be waiting for you in Zagare.

I’m passing my “steering wheel” to a new head of Zagare Town Chief Alvydas Urbonas and wish him all the best in his direct work and good emotions in Chart work.
Stase Eidukiene, Zagare, Lithuania

Desborough has new European Charter sign

From Ben Murphy:

We are busy preparing for the meeting in Desborough in a few weeks time, more details to come to the delegate shortly. In the meantime we wanted to share some news - we have had new signs put up welcoming people to Desborough on the main roads which now include the fact that we are a Charter town, with the logo. See the photo in the right column - this is thanks to Northamptonshire County Council and the Highways Department, who ensured these signs were up in time for the visit!   We're proud to be the UK Charter town - and everyone can see it now on our lovely new signs!
