Welcome to the International Association of Chile

Dear IAC Friends,
  Our May General Meeting was GREAT!    Linda Strauss had us thinking and talking about many things we need, and what we let go of and what we keep.  Kathi Bubb won the serving dishes and Laura Morris won the day passes to Club Santa Martina in the raffle.
  
  Here's what's coming up next:
Thursday, May 17 at the IAC house  TRAVEL TALK with Kathi Bubb.  This is a chance to get to know more about Chile and help us make good decisions on where to go when based on everyone else's experience.  Also, LUNCH will be available for 3 mil pesos. 
May 22 Discovering Santiago - Take the Metro DOWNTOWN with a bunch of fun friends, see museums, go to lunch, etc., etc.
June 9 Games night at the IAC house.  Scrabble, Monopoly, Catch Phrase, bring whatever games you want to share, something to drink and we'll send for take out.  The key to having a good time is showing up!
Next General Meeting:  Tuesday, JUNE 12, at Zanzibar Restaurant 10:15 for coffee and shopping, 10:45 the meeting starts.  If anyone wants to stay for lunch afterward, they are offering us this special menu: 

Appetizer

 Main Dishes

 Valor Menú $10.000.- por persona.  Tip and drink NOT included.

 Everyone who stays for lunch has a lot of fun, too!  Please spread the word, and I hope to see you there.

SPEAKING OF FOOD... A challenge has been issued for the month of June.  Get a group together and sign up to make lunch on a Thursday in June.  This could be any of the established groups, (tennis, golf, hiking, quilting, etc., etc.) or just you and some friends.  The IAC will provide 30 mil for ingredients and the group that entices the most people to have lunch at the house will win a fabulous prize!  So talk to your friends, sign up, make a menu and TALK it up. 

  All of us love to have lunch at the house and this is a fun opportunity to get involved.  Bon Apatit!

 

 

 Besitos,

Pat Hodges

President - International Association of Chile
