Anything missing?
In the announcement, co-chairmen Thomas and Thomas explain, that they have tried to coordinate the calendar with other “Dane related events”.
“If we have missed something and one of the above events collides with another pre-arranged event, then please let us know and we will try to come up with an alternative date,” they say.
For all events, invitations and reminders will come out when we are a little closer to each event, but you can already now mark the calendar.
Membership is for the season 2013/14 50 USD (1.100.000 VND) per family. Some of the events have additional payment, while some are free for members. Events are also open to non members, typically with a slightly higher payment than that of members.
DPS aims on a yearly basis to be financially in balance, i.e. neither making a profit nor a loss.
