29th September. Spanish gathering at Culture Club

DATE FOR YOUR DIARY: WEDNESDAY, 29 SEPTEMBER.

Dear Friend of the Society,

Thank you to the more than 40 of you who attended yesterday's Get Together. We were very fortunate in being able to hear Eduardo Rodríguez give a well researched and interesting talk about Mexico's 200th Independence Anniversary. Thank you Eduardo - we value your talks.

Arturo Salazar, another Mexican, has kindly offered to give a talk on the 29th about Monterrey, the third largest city in Mexico. It should be interesting - please make a note in your diary to attend.

Thanks once again go to Lennon, the owner of CultureClub (www.cultureclub.com.hk), for being such a splendid host.

Hope to see you on the 29th in CultureClub in Soho District, Central (map attached), from 7 p.m. onwards. The event needs you and in return will give you a wonderful opportunity to express yourself in Spanish.

Saludos,

Chris Stubbs
