THIS WEEK’S Regular Sunday Coffee Meeting

Location: Starbucks
Time 10:30 am - 1:00 pm

We have been meeting at Starbucks for almost two years; many people have met new friends and enjoyed the atmosphere.
But times are changing and people needs and opinions should be taken into consideration.

So next week the Regular Sunday Coffee Meeting will have a NEW home.

A place where people can sit in an air conditioned environment, relax in big soft comfy chairs, drink coffee that tastes like real coffee, a meeting place with a smoking area and TOILETS.

No more going to get your coffee, this place has very attractive waitress who can speak in English and are very helpful.

If you feel like something a little stronger this coffee shop also sell beers, Budweiser even Guinness.

Too good to be true, Real coffee, Beers, Smoking area, Toilets  No, its real and I hope you will all come to a coffee shop that’s going to be the NEW home for Expat’s in Dalian.

And an added bonus the prices are cheaper, the cups are bigger and this week at Starbucks we will be giving away EXTRA discount vouchers.

So come and say goodbye to Starbucks and find out just where we are moving to.

Facts about APRIL

"April showers bring May flowers"


April was the second month in an early Roman calendar, but became the fourth when the ancient Romans started using January as the first month.
 
The Romans called the month Aprilis. It may come from a word meaning 'to open', or it may come from Aphrodite, the Greek name for the goddess of love.

Small animals that hibernate are usually coming out of their burrows in April. The birds fly back northward or they settle down to have their families. The bees and butterflies begin to gather nectar from the first flowers of the season.
 
In some parts of the world, it's planting time. In other parts, it's the harvest season. Professional baseball begins in April. Then the amateur athletes begin to go outside in the warm weather. Spring cleaning starts and people start mowing their yards again.


Special days celebrated in April begin with the first day of April, when children and grown-ups play jokes on one another. Arbor Day is a day for planting trees, and it is observed on various April days. The Jewish festival of Pescah (Passover) is celebrated early in April.
