for over 13 years the association, thanks also to the organization of the Cerealia Festival, has developed various bilateral activities with Mediterranean countries. Many of these initiatives have also received the patronage of the ALF. The MThI chairman served two years on the Advisory Board of the ALF (2018-2021). We are planning to intensify our activities on the southern shores of the Mediterranean, in particular with Morocco, Tunisia and Jordan, with whom we already maintain various cooperation relationships. In particular we are interested in carrying out initiatives in the field of food education, artistic training and female empowerment
MThI has been member of ALF Network sinc 2011. On January 27 we sent an emal to RIDE APS communicating that we wanted to resign from RIDE but remain in the ALF Italia Network. We thus discovered that we had instead been canceled from the ALF Italia network, because RIDE had sent a newsletter in which it indicated to communicate confirmation of membership to the ALF network by January 20th. We were told that they could not re-enter us as we missed the deadline, but that we had to apply again for membership to ALF. We asked RIDE when the confirmation of membership of the ALF Italia Network should be sent, because the last time we received a membership request was in 2018-2019, but they were unable to answer us, saying that there is no rule defined. We therefore ask you to re-accept our membership and allow us not to lose our historical seniority. Please also inform us when the membership confirmation must be sent each year and by what date, so as do not incur in our cancellation again. Thank you
