Major International Events
Happy travels and best of luck to EN’s own Ema Klugman, who frequently works as a columnist for us, as she and the Chriaz Syndicate’s Chiraz head overseas to Military Boekelo’s CCIO4*-L this weekend. They’ve been tapped as part of team Australia, and this first international trip is a big accomplishment. Stay tuned for more from Boekelo all week long on EN as Tilly Berendt provides us with a look at the action, thanks to the support of Horsepal.
