- to organize IVRPA in a more professional way,
- and last but not least to increase the membership values for our members.

As we mentioned in our last newsletter in February, several committees were formed to achieve these goals. Step by step we are getting closer to achieve them. In this newsletter we want to take a look at the first results that could be realized so far.

The Next World Wide Panorama Event

Submitted by GDonaldBain on Sat, 2008-09-06 18:21.

As our planet whirls through space it once again approaches a position halfway between the mid-summer and mid-winter Solstices, that place and time we call the Equinox. Day and night will be of equal length at all latitudes. For the northern hemisphere summer officially ends and autumn begins, south of the equator goes from winter to spring.

To celebrate this auspicious point in the space-time continuum we invite you to participate in the twentieth edition of the World Wide Panorama.
