Summer
is over and the new season promises to be more exciting and hopeful. The
Israeli Technology Center (ITC) that we mentioned in our previous newsletter
is taking shape. We have opened a new office to be used by both the ITC
and for small meetings by Silicom Ventures (SV). In this newsletter we
also have some news about our portfolio companies. Finally, we want to
remind all of you to RSVP to our annual cocktail party. We expect to be
overbooked as we were last year and priority will be given to those who
RSVP.

by SV officers and staff.
