Weil Memorial Lecture : after having told the CECA board that this would not imply any money from CECA, H. Krautler asks the international committees involved for financial support - 300 to 500 euro ! To be decided in Rio. Alma Wittlin being one of CECA founding members, with Emma's agreement I have sent Hqdwig a statement for CECA to be put in the flyer asking to be put in alphabetical order which means the first on the list of international committees supporting the event. Hadwig has been told that CECA will not hand out any money without an invoice. I have asked Magaly Cabral to add the Memorial lecture in the CECA conference program
