DATE FOR YOUR DIARY - AUGUST 26, 2009.

Dear Member or Friend of the Society,

First, I must say that I was very thrilled with yesterday's (5/8/09) Get Together. Apart from an interesting and informative talk given by Katrina on Granada, 39 people attended. This does not seem many in comparison with some of the recent attendance figures, but the fact was that it was absolutely teeming with rain (lloviendo a cántaros - raining cats and dogs). Especial thanks go to all those who attended - thank you so much for the effort you made. Please remember that weather conditions need to be very extreme for us to cancel our meeting.

The next Get Together at CultureClub (www.cultureclub.com.hk) will be held from 7 p.m. on Wednesday, August 26. Tony, from Mexico, has indicated that he would like to give a talk on the Spanish Influence on some Aspects of Latin America Culture - should be interesting. Please make a note in your diary to attend. It will be a wonderful opportunity to practise your Spanish.

This morning I received an e-mail from Phil who sent information about a free translation tool which you may be interested in. If you want to take a look then the website is http://bilingualizer.globalcitizen.hk. He would welcome your comments ( phisej@gmail.com).

Hope to see you on the 26th.

Saludos,

Chris Stubbs
