Eurasia Zone Liaison Couple
Dear all,
The ERI has just (today) announced that Faye and Kevin Noonan have accepted the role of Liaison couple for the Eurasia Zone. They will replace Helena and Paul McCloskey in July.
And like Helena and Paul they will bring to the ERI – their charisma, their knowledge, their awareness of the differing cultures across the Zone and particularly their engaging sense of fun and humour and humility that instantly puts everyone at ease.
As members of the International leading team (ERI) they will be fantastic.
On behalf of Oceania we pray for them and support them.
We also wish to thank with gratitude the patient gentle and guiding support, Helena and Paul have provided not only to Oceania but also to the ERI.
