Dear Fellows,

I hope you had a good rest during the seasons and have found your way back into office and field with an inspired work mood.

For PECOJON 2007 was a busy and energetic year with lots of new developments:

PECOJON Germany gained official shape with Martin Zint as National Coordinator and Ruediger Riester as Chief of Operation, backed up by Pia Nitz, who completes the team for the German secretariat, and a bunch of very inspired and passionate journalists as founding members. The first activities took place and if you screen online for the visibility of the network you will be surprised how many hits you already get related to PECOJON Germany activities.
