Hey chicita, Did the dinner happen? and if it did what was the outcome?

Sweftr

Just my timing, is there another of these?

chicita

There will be more next year.

Sarahjingo

Hi. Am a kenyan who relocated back to kenya from Denmark a year ago. Would like to know whether am eligible to attend and if yes how much is required for the dinner.  Sarah

chicita

hi,i think you are eligible bacause you have been an expatriate. Will tell you once we organize another one...welcome back.

fafa58

Hi, please let me know when you'll organize another one. Hope it will be soon !thanks !

chicita

Ok,will do that.

uyikjh

wow...this seems like a great idea...is it just for expats? i get the impression from your response to sarahjingo

chicita

It is mainly for expats,but locals are welcome. We would like to share our experiences and get to dimystify a few things here and there,then learn from them...

uyikjh

So are there any plans or suggestions yet? Easter maybe?

chicita

That is a nice suggestion,but most people prefer to spend time with their families during Easter. We could do it on a Sunday afternoon,as from 2pm,and it does not have to be a dinner,we could meet up for a drink.

What do you think?

Sarahjingo

Easter would not be appropriate because most take short holidays that time with familys. Any other time ok with me.

Maggie Mbugua

This is a great idea. Am a local but work with expatriates but from Africa. Lunch would be nice. Can I suggest Olepolos? Its a great place and not very far.

chicita

Hey Maggie,
Olepolos sounds like a good idea but dont you think it is abit out of town?

Sarahjingo

Maggie. Olepolos is a good idea especially for those who have never been there will be able to see the beautiful landscapes.

Maggie Mbugua

Thanks Sarahjingo, I thought so too. Its a nice cool top of the hill with great roast meat. They also have a swimming pool. I like the scenery around.

chicita

It is good that the two of you (Maggie and Sarahjingo) are thinking in a similar direction. How about we meet up this Sunday at 2:00 pm for coffee at Tea Sopt,Koinange street,then we can plan the Olepolos plot?

Hi everyone,
Thanks alot for the feedback.

Looks like we have April as the month for the next get-together. How about the 15th of April in the afternoon? It will be on a Sunday.

Connerd and Dennise,will you be here by then?

BabyH

Hi Chicita,

As we plan for the next get-together people should suggest what they prefer between coffee, lunch or dinner and also whether its on Saturday and Sunday.

daveck12

connerd

hey chicita

I am in nairobi now - arrived tuesday - look forward to meeting all of you

Sarahjingo

Hi everybody. I would suggest lunch. Somebody once suggested venue at olepolos.   If it is out of town then lunch is appropriate. If it is within,  then i would suggest dinner.

Wawuda

Olepolos is a nice place but it's a bit far, out of town.

chicita

Hi, welcome Connerd.

Since starting off with something within or near town is better,what would you preffer? Please select a combination (day and destination) or suggest another:

Time: 2:00pm

a)Saturday afternoon(21st April)
b)Sunday after noon(22nd April)

Meeting place:
1)Nakumatt junction
2)Westgate shopping mall

Please pick a day and preffered suggestion.

You can also inbox me or call me 0729 079 046 or email heelsandvalise@gmail.com, for easier planning.

Hi everyone,

I am the 'moderator' for this get-together.

So,it is agreed that we are meeting on Saturday, 21th April 2012 at the Nakumatt Junction, Art Café. How about 3:00 pm?

Could we have an identification tag or style?
