A beautiful entry to our Photo Competition 2017 from Amnon Ziv, IPA Israel IPA NEWSLETTER – JULY / AUGUST 2018 Page 1 WORD OF INTRODUCTION Dear all, Looking at the Calendar of Events, it is always nice to see that despite the summer (or the winter for some), the ‘IPA House’ does not close, but on the contrary is very active throughout the entire summer. April, May and June are usually busy with general assemblies, elections for some, or various meetings and conferences bringing together delegates of many sections, and frequently during these meetings, items for the forthcoming World Congress are already discussed, or common projects developed. In July and August, however, events bring the IPA back to less serious encounters which are mainly sporty or social, and therefore entirely in line with this time of the year when most people take a few days or ‘There is a light, a beauty up there, that no shadow can touch’ - Tolkien weeks off. I always wish I could join some of these summer events, in order to really experience the essence of the IPA: getting together, meeting new friends and spending some time when laughter can alleviate the seriousness of the daily working life :-) I wish a relaxing and joyful time to all those who will have the opportunity to take some vacations.
