Thank you Sarah for starting us on this.

With the spirit of the new year, new decade,  I would suggest that we issue a statement on our areas of focus for 2020. This will give us a goal and a roadmap on what we want to achieve as Afralo moving forward. 

Otherwise the already suggested topics will also do.

there and then consigned to the trash bin.
