Chers tous,

Si l'association se fait, cela plaira pas à tout le monde. Il y aura
toujours des personnes qui seront contre car il y a un point où une
personne qui ne lui plaît pas.
Ce qu'il faut faire maintenant, c'est l'association.
C'est dans les faits que nous pourrons juger de son efficacité pas dans les
palabres d'avant sa création ^^.
L'association doit naître avant de marcher.
Bon week end
