Dear AIESEC Alumni Member!

Next year in 2008 is a Special Year for AIESEC. And, a Special Year for AIESEC Alumni, too.

Now, we have over 100 member countries and reagions with more than 300,000 alumni members and 30,000 AIESEC student members around the world.

As all of you are aware that AIESEC was born in 1948 in Stockholm, so we are planning to celebrate the 60th AIESEC Anniversary under the theme of "60 Years of Activating Youth Leadership" around the world.

The following is some of official AIESEC 60th Anniversary events which are already scheduled in each region:

I'm sending this email to alert all of you to block your schedule druing March 21-23, 2008 to visit Tokyo and meet up with many of your old AIESEC friends in Asia Pacific region, since we will have the 60th Anniversary of AIESEC (hosted by AIESEC in Japan) and the 2nd AIESEC Asia Pacific Alumni Congress (hosted by OBAIESEC).
