Coupe Mondiale Staff Day. Members of the CIA hosted many of the terrific staff members, most from the local University, who worked througout the week to ensure that all the visiting guests received all the assistance they needed from travel to translation, to assistance with stage management in the various venues across Rostov and more, ensuring all aspects of the event ran smoothly. It was a chance to enjoy a relaxed afternoon while thanking them for their friendship and help during the week. |
