We will review where we are and where we are headed for this year and next, and discuss the purpose and timing of our upcoming visit to Vanuatu and New Zealand, which I hope will occur in late of spring of this year. All who are interested are welcome!!</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515533886859_8994"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515533886859_8974" dir="ltr">It would be useful if we all shared some common background materials, particularly on the geography, economy and culture of the islands, for which I suggest the Wikipedia article on Vanuatu which is excellent. Another source of information, on current events, is the website of the Daily Post, the primary English language newspaper published in Vanuatu, and a very good app put out by Radio New Zealand which has a section on the Pacific island countries. I will bring a Lonely Planet guide and a text on Bislama, the local language. </div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515533886859_8992" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515533886859_8975" dir="ltr">Hope to see you at the meeting!!</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515533886859_8993" dir="ltr"> </div><div class="signature" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515533886859_8833">Jeff Stubbs<br>P.O.
