2016 – Newsletter 1
April 2016
Dear Member,
2016 marks APrIR’s 40th Anniversary, so the EC is very busy planning a celebration
in style. All the activities to be carried out
this year will be stepping stones toward the
celebration of APrIR’s birthday.
Another two sister organisations are also
reaching landmark anniversaries; therefore,
the three organisations will organise not
only individual events but joint ventures.
Asociación Rosarina de Cultura Inglesa
(ARCI)
is
celebrating
its
75th
anniversary and the English Teacher
Education Programme (Profesorado de
Inglés) at IES ”Olga Cossettini” is
celebrating its 80th Anniversary.
At APrIR itself, April was once more a
month of change. On April 9th, the Annual General Meeting took place at our new
premises. The former Executive Committee, chaired by Prof. María del Carmen
Fernández Beitía stepped down and a new EC was appointed. We would like to thank
Prof. Fernández Beitía for all the hard work and relentless dedication she put in to
foster the growth of our Association, always with a smile and kindest words of
encouragement to the rest of the EC members. We know she needs a rest from the
responsibilities of leadership which ensured many achievements for us all. We are also
grateful to Marta Masía, who is taking a rest from the Treasury, though we are happy to
say that both continue to be actively involved in the EC in different roles.
Prof. María del Carmen Bonilla has picked up the baton to apply renewed energy to
the job. She will be seconded by members of the previous EC, and the welcome addition
of Prof. Andrea Monserrat, who is bringing new blood and fresh ideas. They will together
strive to meet current goals and set new targets, but the success of our Association
ultimately depends on the commitment of all members.
2016 – 2018 Executive Committee
President: María del Carmen Bonilla
Vice-President: Juana R. Nicenboim
Secretary: Mariel Amez
Under-Secretary: Andrea Monserrat
