If you are aware of any other expatriate/newcomer groups that we can promote through this email newsletter, please let me know. Remember, our role is to Welcome you to Western Australia and connect you with existing resources (because we are a NETWORK), so if you know some useful information, share it with us and we can let more people know how to find new friends and networks in Western Australia.

Cheers for now, Sue
