Welcome back!

The Coffee Talk community is getting back together after 5 weeks off for summer vacation. Some of you have gone on trips or back home. Some of you have stayed in Seattle.

When American students go back to school in the fall, they fully expect their teachers to assign them a 3-5 page composition, titled "What I Did On My Summer Vacation".
Please come prepared to tell about your last five weeks of vacation.
Examples: I went to about 3 movies a week....I attended my cousin's wedding......I moved to a new house/apt/host family.... I took a trip to New York....... I got sick and had to go to the emergency room... It was so good to be home in my country with my family and friends..... I met a new friend.... I was bored out of my mind...

We can't wait to hear all about it.

The fall schedule will be
Fridays 4:00-5:30 Conversation Lounge (and dinner), starting October 5.
Tuesdays 4:00-5:30 Homework Help (hot beverages and snacks), starting October 9.

If any of you can help move tables before Coffee Talk or help clean up afterwards please let us know.
Thank you.

September plans

Hello CoffeeTalkers!
Best greetings to all of you, those at home in their countries and those in Seattle!!!! We hope that summer is pleasant and interesting for you.
We’re having a barbecue on Saturday, September 8 from 3:00 to 6:00ish.
Since some will be coming on the bus and therefore "at the mercy" of the bus schedule, please plan on arriving anytime between 3 and 4. We'll start the barbecue at 4:00. Those who come early can snack and have cold drinks.
Since this is a potluck, we'll all provide something. Jenn and I will bring the barbecue meat and cold drinks. Everyone else please bring a side dish or a salad or a dessert. When you RSVP (respond if you're coming or not), email me, eslstay@hotmail.com, to tell me what food you have chosen.

Bon Voyage

This week we said good bye to Matthew and Jill who are going on sabbatical until May 2008. They have promised us e-mail which we will post for everyone to read.

We also said good bye to those students who are going home or to other university opprotunities. We will miss you but wish you all the best!
