“As the fair is global, we had Skålleagues from all over the world come and greet us”, says Susanna Saari, Former President of Skål International, a member of Skål International Turku.

“It was not as busy as I expected but we still managed to get a rather long list of leads, mostly from Finland, but also interest from countries like Albania and Emirate of Sharjah, whom we hope will help Skål establish in these areas where there are no Clubs yet.”
