 TIME for action the Drag Anchor carrier Janny thought (please see elsewhere on this site for further explanation). That is why she still upports the idea of making the statue in dedication of the Unknown Docker reality. The idea of materializing the statue Unknown Docker - made by Sandy Warnaar - is supported by Cruise Rotterdam and Cruise Europe MD Mai Elmar and other top brass in Rotterdam. The scheme as to how is still under discussion.
Another venture was promoting to get the outside of Cruise Terminal Rotterdam prettier, the way the parking lot has beenfinally enclosed in particular. Potted plants alongside the Cruise Terminal Rotterdam building and elsewhere at the Wilhelminapier area, have done a world of good. It was a matter of perseverance and hours and hours of talking to get the potted plants in their proper place. Miracle of micracles; that happened just before the arrival of the Norwegian Epic, the largest cruise liner ever to be in a Dutch seaport. At least the passengers got a flowery welcome, although they'd rather be earlier onboard ship than actually happened.  THERE is more than meets the eye in Janny's home suburb Vreewijk; the oldest but one Welwyn Garden City look-alike in the Netherlands. Entrepreneurs and the organisation of inhabitants of this specific Rotterdam area can look back upon successful cultural manifestations in the centre of Vreewijk. Janny contributed to special newspapers on the events. Please click on the Ondernemend Vreewijk logo to find more about current events. 
THE Ketelbinkie Koffietrofee Jury (a bunch of Rotterdam-based coffee tasting journalists) has made the crew of Cappucino happy by awarding them the 1st Prize for the best cup of coffee served in Rotterdam.

THERE s a relatively new IT doctor in the house: ICT United's Roderick Guépin. Here he is the Man@Work  Guépin used to cooperate with good old IT Doctor Mike Vuyk, who unfortunately had to step down.  On the positive side is that Mike is still in the background, keeping abreast of the latest developments within and outside ICT United. Please find out yourself at http://www.ictunited.nl As 2010 goes on the New year's wish conveyed early this year is still valid:Cooperation and effective communication have to work wonders against the crises. Could not we use these tools to fight hard-heartedness of society? A laugh and a friendly gesture make the world a better place! HAPPY memorie s about a super 60st birthday party at Maritime Hotel in Rotterdam, thanks to all nice friends and party lovers who came to the party. Here is Janny in the act of a performer, together with the real one: Jos Valster.

Thanks to IT doctor Roderick more pics are put for show on this website. Please go to Janny's Photos 
 Janny was sent this picture (left) by fellow WISTA members who spotted the Rotterdam-based party goer in London at the Medieval Banquet. And yes, it was all fun and laughter at the so-called Court of Henry the Eight.
All WISTA members look forward to the WISTA conference which will be held in Athens late September.

The corporation has been cooperative to keep history alive in Museum House Lede 40. Please go to
