Dear reader,<br />

<strong>NATO</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />

Community Bulletin September 2005 Edition<br />

From the Editor<br />

Again a bulletin filled with lots of interesting stories and information. The longest story in this bulletin was<br />

submitted by Major Jan Kars who led the 2005 <strong>NATO</strong> <strong>School</strong> Summer Training. It gives you a good<br />

impression about the activities we did during the week in the mountains of Berchtesgaden. Even though we<br />

had five centimeters of snow on the day we departed for Oberammergau, we had a fantastic week. By<br />

reading the story we hope that more people will sign up for next year’s edition of Summer Training.<br />

There is also a long list of activities planned by the <strong>NATO</strong> Recreation Center staff, not all details were known<br />

by the time this bulletin was printed but just give them a call when you would like more information about one<br />

of the many events that they organize.<br />

The Red Cross Station in Oberammergau invites you and your family on Saturday, 17 September 2005 to<br />

the large parking lot beneath the Kolben ski area. They hold an ‘open house’ where you can see all aspects<br />

about the Red Cross station and the important work they do for you and me when we need them.<br />

I am off on a first of two sailing vacations and a two week course in Switzerland. By the time these three<br />

events are over it is time to think which tie to wear for the 2005 Commandant’s Christmas Dinner, which<br />

takes place on Saturday, 10 December 2005. Yes, it is less than one hundred days until Christmas.<br />

Just so you know.<br />

Enjoy reading this bulletin!<br />
