Maga and Ricardo have invited us to hold the next get-together at the Palm club, Ave Cabo Branco, Cabo Branco, JoaoPessoa, Paraiba. It will take place on the 11th March 2012 starting at 1pm and finishing around 7pm. Here is a map with the location.
As always there will be a book and DVD exchange, so be sure to dig out all those old books you keep meaning to bring and swap. We would once again like to give people the option to bring 1Kg of non-perishable food or a child’s toy that we will donate to a local ONG working in Joao Pessoa, Paraiba (also we would be very happy to accept any clothes and shoes).
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Keke and Patrick for hosting a great day at their pousada, restaurant and Irish bar in Bessa for the Christmas get-together. Everyone seems to have had a good time, so much so that a few people now attend the bar every friend evening between 5 and 8pm.
