Day no. 4

Most mayors "make my day" through their own enthusiasm and very few disappoint me (as happened today once).

In Csolnok, it was a great pleasure to meet with mayor Bérces József. His assessment is totally in line with my own: "one has to make personal contacts in order to make such large project a success. The opposite from Direct Mailing". Thank you Mr Mayor for these encouraging words.

In Sárisáp, I met with the notary public, Mrs Klórián Józsefné. A lady of few words, but probably many actions. Great to hear that the mayor already had decided for the municipality to become a member in the Order of the Smiling Knights with an amount of HUF 10.000. And perhaps some more members from Sárisáp will join the mayor.

In Kesztölc, the mayor was not available. But three ladies warmed up to the concept of the Order of the Smiling Knights. I have all hopes that these "Three Musketeers" will help us with at least three members.

Esztergom was the high point of the day. A meeting in the local hospital; could not be more fitting. Dr Osvai László and Mrs Bártfainé Borz Gyöngyi were clearly planning to use all possible media sources in Esztergom (30.000 inhabitants) to help try finding at least 30 members. With such personal support such goal may well be reached.

The mayor of Tokod, Pánczel Mihály was very forthcoming and assured me to help realise four members from his village.

This time a variation of "last, but not least", namely: last and very least, the mayor of Tokodaltáró, who made clear in one minute that he had no time, the municipality no money and his secretary would further talk to me as he had other meetings to attend to. For us, a gracious secretary may be more valuable then a non-interested mayor; hopefully she will still be able to get us three members.

All in all, a very good day!
