I cannot emphasise it often enough: the OSV is such a fine network of fine people, or rather fine friends. Friends as meant in the proverb: 'a friend in need is a friend indeed!' You could say that we have been in (corona) distress for a long time now.
The social bubbles, a word I had never heard of, are small, the contacts minimal. We cannot organise anything and yet the network remains intact. Everyone remains a loyal participant, hoping of course that we will see each other again soon.
I am proud of this and, above all, very happy.
I often hear that you are really missing the barbecues. I promise you: as soon as we can, we will be the first to organise a mega-barbecue. We will go nuts! Right now, we can't do that, but the time has come for the next contact moment.
Last year, we sent out the OSV mask, a notebook and OSV gift vouchers for the magazine. These are still being redeemed. We will continue with the OSV introduction rounds. You can either sign up if you want to have priority, or you can wait until I approach you. That is up to you.
What have we got for you this time? I am not telling you that yet! We really struggled to decide, but we have made up our minds. You can expect another present in your mailbox in mid/end of April. Just let us know whether it should be sent to the company or to your private address.
Meanwhile, we are going to enjoy the pre-fun.
