On behalf of the Host Committee, it gives me great pleasure to once again give a massive thank you to all who took part in the 16th Area Europe Convention in Lappeenranta.

You created the atmosphere for this convention, because without you we wouldn't have had a convention! The motto was Y's Men building bridges! Let us build bridges, take care of all our contacts, cherish our memories and use the knowledge of the Y's Men.

Big thanks to all who gave their time and a lot of hard work to make this convention a success. My personal thanks to the members of the Host Committee. It was an honour to work with you, and you did a great job.

Special thanks must go to Lappeenranta City and Nordea Bank for their support.

I sincerely wish you all a successful Y's Men year, and a nice autumn. See you in Herning, Denmark in 2008.

Tor Bäckman
Host Committee Chairman
