Anne Isaacson, President, WITIA
We are delighted to see registrations for our Educational to Viterbo come in from different parts of the world, ensuring that this will once again be a memorable networking event with the opportunity to make new contacts or renew existing friendships with WITIA colleagues. WITIA members have come forward to offer some unique touring and sightseeing options, both before and after the Educational. These trip modules provide you with a convenient and enjoyable means of exploring regions of Italy that you may never have heard of, or maybe some you have always wanted to see first-hand. We hope you will take this opportunity to visit historic locations, enjoy quaint villages and towns, and sample the delicious food and wines of Italy - even as you learn about other cultures and lifestyles from your fellow tour participants.
For complete information on the Educational itinerary and terms as well as pre and post tour opportunities, go to www.witia.org and check under the EVENTS tab. Also access further information in past issues of WITIA ITALY INTERMEZZO, under the News. tab and watch for monthly issues as they come to your inbox! Read more in WITIA WORKS
Member Profile - Leslie Neil, Sydney, Australia
Lesley Neil, a native of Sydney, Australia, spent her childhood on the move as her father contributed to the post war building boom, but eventually she found herself back in Sydney in a conservative all girls private school. To shake things up a bit, she accepted the challenge of an AFS student exchange to Mountain View, California for her last year of high school. Not only did she have co-ed classes (boys!) but Mountain View let her encounter a wealth of cultures different from her own. Her interest was piqued, probably the revival of a dormant gene inherited from a missionary ancestor who landed in the Marquesas Islands in 1793 to bring Christianity to the local cannibals. Happily said ancestor managed to avoid entering the food chain and eventually returned to Sydney to found the line that resulted in our WITIA member. Read more in WITIA WORKS
