Agenda and meetings ArkinPlus

Sloop trip. More information will follow.

On the initiative of some enthusiastic ArkinPlussers, a table was reserved for the first time at Freud in the Spaarndammerstraat in Amsterdam on April 26, 2021. Under the motto: "How nice can it be to eat with a group of like-minded people at the Roads Restaurant Freud", Arkin retirees meet every quarter to talk about 'life during and after Arkin'. The leadership and coordination is done by Frits Nieuwstraten. Usually about 6-10 Arkin retirees enjoy themselves with a nice meal and a good conversation. A short report with photo can be found in the newsletter. Sign up!
