I know it sometimes seems like we do a lot of this at an IFAJ meeting. It’s called fellowship and I think it’s one of the important elements of an IFAJ meeting. As I sat with these guys at our dinner on Saturday night that was hosted by the Irish Food Board (thank you very much), I listened to them talk about meetings from years and years ago. Like many professional organizations IFAJ allows members to not only develop contacts and skills but friendships that last a lifetime.

I took a few pictures as usual at this meeting. You can find them online here: IFAJ/Green Week Online Photo Album

In case you’re interested we ate at the Old Emerald Isle which is “The alternative Irish Pub in Berlin-Kreuzberg.”
