Office now open ARCI, Buenos Aires 1174
As announced last year, our office has moved to new
premises and is now open in ARCI’s library. Once again
we would like to thank ARCI’s EC and its Director of Studies
Analía Dobboletta for their generosity in granting us this
space.
Ms Laura Raimondi, newly appointed Secretary, will
welcome our members and collect fees, lend books from
APrIR’s library and clear doubts and queries about new
membership on Wednesdays from 5 to 7 pm and Fridays
from 10 am to 12 pm.
Meet Laura at work!

Special request: Due to requirements from Inspección General de Personas
Jurídicas de la Provincia de Santa Fe all members are required to sign a
Members Log. Those present at our 2016 activities have already done so, but if you
haven’t, please drop by the office, get to know the premises, meet Laura and
sign the log asap!

Shakepeare Lives!
As you are probably aware the whole world is celebrating Shakespeare’s immortality

We also invite you to check out the websites and Facebook pages of

The FAAPI Conference organised by ASJPI will provide an opportunity

In June we will be offering a presentation by Inés Regueira, MA, who
has recently published La luminosa dama oscura.
