Planning other things
There are many more things of course! If you need some more advice ask
other IAESTE trainees or people from the Local Committee. Most of them
show up on the Weekly Meeting. You may also send your
questions and suggestions to the e-mail list
or to Evelyn, LC Zurich's event coordinator.
