Word from the president- June 2008

Dear Members,

 

The  Annual General Meeting of the Netherland Club took place on May 20.

This AGM was the last meeting chaired by Hein Holtkamp, who resigned as

President. Hein has been on the Board of the Club since 2001, the last 5

years as President. It goes without saying that Hein has played a vital

role in the success of the Club. He initiated the Young Professionals

Committee and introduced the corporate  membership system, resulting in a

substantial increase is funds from sponsors.  We would like to thank Hein

for all time and energy he devoted to the Club.

Movie -American Psyche- May 27 2008

It has been a very interesting and impressive documentary followed by Q&A with the director.

The events of 9/11 marked a fundamental shift in the way America saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. As the White House expanded its vocabulary in 'preemptive strikes' and 'homeland security', even the idea of 'America' changed. I  -along with friend and co-creator Franois Le Gourant-  began to question what the true social climate of the United States was, and whether the actions of the White House were really reflecting the interests and concerns of its people.

Andre Rieu and his Johan Strauss Orchestra in Concert, Friday May 23rd in Bridgeport (CT)

Some 8,000 people filled the Arena in Bridgeport, CT to capacity. Andre Rieu and his Johan Strauss Symphony Orchestra did not disappoint. He engaged the public with superb performances of popular classical and contemporary compositions. He presented a repertoire that was tailored to the regional audience.
 
It was entertaining, witty, tasteful and of high professional level. His brand is unique and I can understand why he is packing houses in all parts of the globe. Being there in person is even better than seeing him in concert on PBS. I counted 17 encores... for a concert that lasted two-and-a half hours as promised.
