| NEWSLETTER Vol 31, 12/2006 |  |
Hello, Oh it’s December already and pretty quickly the remaining days of 2006 will slip away. The New Year will mark the start of our sixth year in business and we have much happening in 2007. We welcome Angela Martin to our team and announce the creation of a new arm to assist you in the planning and management of your business events. I believe the real magic is in the personal service we provide. Our team will work with you through each phase of planning. From budget formation to onsite management; we worry about everything...so you don't have to. Our involvement will ensure a smooth and professional orchestration guaranteeing the creative and professional integrity of your business event. Our combination of outsourcing and innovative procedures with our many years of experience in the meeting and conference industry will deliver a superior product and service. Whether you have an existing event in need of more efficient management or if you just want expert advice, we are the company for you! Find out more from Jim Conway or Lisa Moloney. I had the pleasure of enjoying a few days in Malaysia doing some Hotel site inspections and some sailing along the coast. I experienced some great hospitality along the way and when it rains - it rains! One afternoon we had about three inches in two hours. Coming home I have really noticed how dry our countryside is and hopefully we don’t have any major bushfires over summer. On behalf of the team here at Key Conference Solutions I wish you all the very best for the festive season and to many happy times spent with family and friends. Regards, Jim Conway |

holiday period and the next edition of our newsletter will be on its way to you
in February 2007.
