XDISA : Association des Retraités de DuPont de Nemours en Suisse

Dear members and colleagues,

The associations committee met on July 6 with the purpose of reviewing input from the meeting with DISA and handling administrative matters for the association. 

The information obtained so far is reassuring from the point of view of our fund’s performance. You have received in July the relevant annual report.

In terms of the merger and future organizational set up there is little but hearsay and assumptions about the attributions of actual businesses after the break down of Dow/DuPont  into three corporations, that appear to be still under discussion. We hope more substantial information to be available in November-December still this year. 

Our Association legal structure does require a formal General Assembly this year. In the expectation of a better chance for more significant news, we are proposing to set that date on December 6. Specific details will be provided later in the year, but please note the date. 

It is time also to deal with membership fees which are set at 30 CHF/year. To make matters simple, all fees paid in 2016 are valid for 2017. If you have also paid in 2017, this will count for 2018. The few that have paid both years will be credited 2018 fees. If you have registered and not paid any fee please pay your 2017 fee.

If you receive this message and have not yet registered please do so and pay your 2017 contribution.

To register, please go to your web site at https://xdisaweb.ch/en_GB/member-registration/

With best wishes for a pleasant remainder of summer from your committee
