I would like to take this opportunity to say something to all IWC members as I happen to be visiting Maastricht for two weeks. I was a member of the club for six years and we left in 2005. We feel that we've made the right decision to go back and we live now a full life in our homeland with our people and culture. But I would like to thank the club for being my home and a listening ear, for giving me friendship and emotional support during those special and adventurous six years of my life. I hope that the club will still exist for many years to come to give support to other women who live away from home. I was surprised to see that everybody remembered me and welcomed me although four years have passed, and it's nice to see that you have all stayed as young as ever. With love, from Eilat Schiff, Tel Aviv, Israel.
