The Food at the Conference

Hello Everyone!

I hope that life is going well, wherever you may be!

In response to Jelle's post, much thanks for arranging a meeting room for the SNO EC; this will definitely give us an opportunity to re-cap the past year's SWOT (i.e. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, & Threats). Furthermore, it will allow the SNO EC to prepare for the SNO General Meetings that will be held throughout the conference.

On another note, I wanted to inquire about the food that will be provided at the conference. As a Muslim person, I only eat "Halal Food" according to my religious teachings and laws. Some of you may know that Jews eat "Kosher Food", which means "fit" and "proper". The term is usually used for food that Jews are permitted to eat under dietary laws that are derived from passages of their scriptures. Likewise, in Islam Muslims also have dietary requirements.

As a result, it would very much appreciated if the conference organizers can endeavour to provide "Halal and/or Kosher Foods". I'm sure there must be a resonable Muslim and Jewish community in Ghent and/or Belgium that you can inquire from that will provide such food products for the conference event.

Other than that, continue with the great work Jelle!!!

Cheers
