Christmas is just around the corner and 2017 is almost wrapped up. We had a very busy year, as we celebrated Finland's 100th anniversary.
This time of the year we would like to thank all our members for your support throughout the year, you are all important to us. We
look forward to see you again next year.
Our first event of the year 2018 will be a luncheon on January 13th with guest speaker, member of the Finnish Parliament, Eero Lehti. On the same weekend we have a joint event with SACC (the Swedish American Chamber of Commerce) on January 14th. Let's kick-start 2018 together!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Yours truly,
Esa Jokela
FACC President
