Subject    Invitation to the “Welcome to The Hague” program    

Dear Sir/Madam,

The City of The Hague cordially invites you and your family to our “Welcome to The Hague” program on Monday, 26 May 2008. The morning is organised to help give you a better understanding of the city, and especially how The Hague Hospitality Centre and our Xpat Desk can make your stay more comfortable. It will also give you an opportunity to broaden your network of contacts and meet other expatriates.

The program is as follows:

•  09.15-09.45 hrs   Arrival at The Hague Hospitality Centre in the Atrium of City Hall, Spui 70

• 09.45-10.00 hrs    Welcome address by Mr Frits Huffnagel, Deputy Mayor for International Affairs

• 10.00-10.15 hrs    Presentation on the The Hague’s international website www.denhaag.com

• 10.30-11.00 hrs    Visit to The Hague Public Library

• 11.00-12.00 hrs    Guided walk through the historic city centre of The Hague

• 12.00-12.30 hrs    Closure of the program with coffee, tea and Haagse kakker, a Hague delicacy at the HHC, where you will be offered a special welcome package.

While the event will be of particular interest to new residents of The Hague, residents of surrounding towns are of course welcome, as are children, although no special children’s program will be organised. Space is limited, so please RSVP before Wednesday 21 May to  Hannelore den Boer with your name, address, e-mail and company or organisation, along with the number of persons attending.

Please be aware that although there is no charge for your participation, we would appreciate it if you would inform us if you are unable to join us for the program. This way we could make your spot available to people on the waiting list.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Hague!

With kind regards,

Willem Post, Head of The Hague Hospitality Centre
