It will be soon 2 years that I moved in this new building. Things were getting better after a year of struggling with all companies involved. Most people living in the building came and asked me first when they had a problem. It was a side effect I did not really want but, at least, they did not […]

I received an email this morning asking me to clarify my vision if I was “the new director” and to make some propositions to develop the project and the goals of the association.
