Dear Member
I hope this mail finds you well.
First of all, Happy New Year from everyone at Expat in Denmark.
We've been carefully looking through your repsonses to our member survey, so thanks to those of you who repsonded. There was a great deal of constructive praise and constructive criticism so we're taking care and time to make sure we plan 2011 to your satisfaction.
The 'expat population' is about as varied and heterogeneous a group as one can find. Will we ever be able to delight everyone? I suppose not. Neither do I suppose that we ever could. We do, however, have the best of intentions which we hope reuslts in the best year so far for you, and for Expat in Denmark, in 2011.
Finally, those of you who have had contact with the Secretariat will perhaps like to know that Peter Lemmich is, as I type, packing his bags for his next adventure; working in the European Parliament. We wish him all the best in his latest expat experience, and sincerely thank him for the wonderful contribution he made to Expat in Denmark. We will miss many things about him, but especially his smile!
Best wishes
Craig Till, Expat in Denmark

Upcoming Events
Expat in Denmark The Danish housing market in 2011
After a successful seminar on the Danish housing market in Copenhagen, we now head to Jutland and Funen.

Expat in Denmark has teamed up with Danske Bank to give you an opportunity to get your housing questions answered. Focus will be put on the Danish housing market in 2011, and the various ways in which you as an expat can get finance for your prospective purchase.
