DATE FOR YOUR DIARY - WED. JUNE 9
Dear Friend of the Society,
Thank you to the close to 50 people who turned up to Get Together No. 70. We enjoyed an entertaining "charla" by Karen Romero, the theme being the Mexican obsession with tele-novelas, and we also said farewell to Paco, who will leave on Sunday for his new life in Poland. Paco has been such a positive participant in many of our meetings and will be sorely missed. We wish him the very best of luck and hope he will keep in touch.
On June 2, La Sociedad Hispanica will hold the annual Graduation Dinner; hence, the next Get Together will be in 4 weeks time, on June 9. Please make a note since you all welcome to attend in order to enjoy the social occasion, as well as to practise your Spanish. People who have graduated from their course will no doubt be eager to communicate, and test themselves, in the language with other aficionados and native speakers. The latter group which often include people from Uruguay, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Spain, are always very supportive and understanding about as to our effort in expressing ourselves well in their beautiful language.
We hope, depending on work commitments, to have Doris Lee give a talk, in Spanish of course, on factory occupations and worker-run cooperatives in Argentina in 2001 (during their economic crisis) and now. Please give her your support.
Please remember that Get Together No. 71 will begin at 7 p.m. on June 9 in CultureClub, 15 Lower Elgin Street, Soho District (www.cultureclub.com.hk).
Saludos,
Chris Stubbs
