New Coordinator Wanted For The Vancouver Koffieclub
The Vancouver Koffieclub is looking for a new coordinator. The group had met at Sitka Square in Vancouver for thirty years, but considering this location may now be less convenient as many have moved away from the city, meeting at a shopping mall may be more convenient and less onerous for a coordinator. If anyone is interested in restarting and coordinating this group, please contact Adriana Zylmans at azylmans(Replace this parenthesis with the @ sign)telus.net or 604 816-3243.
Coquitlam Coffee Club Restart
The Coquitlam Coffee Club is no longer meeting as the group got too small. If anyone is interested in restarting and coordinating this group, please contact Adriana Zylmans at azylmans(Replace this parenthesis with the @ sign)telus.net or 604 816-3243
New Coordinator Wanted For the New Westminster Coffee Club
The New Westminster Coffee Club is looking for a new coordinator. The group had met at the White Spot in New Westminster Royal City Centre Mall on the 3rd Tuesday of each month from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm. If anyone is interested in restarting and coordinating this group, please contact Adriana Zylmans at azylmans(Replace this parenthesis with the @ sign)telus.net or 604-816-3243.
Vancouver Island Coffee Clubs.
There are many people interested in joining a Coffee Club in various locations on Vancouver Island. As there are many Dutch-Canadians living in Nanaimo, Parksville, Chemainus, Comox, Victoria etc. the possibility of having various clubs meet on the Island is certainly possible, but we need coordinators. If anyone is interested in coordinating a group in any location on Vancouver Island, please contact Adriana Zylmans at azylmans(Replace this parenthesis with the @ sign)telus.net or 604 816-3243. The task is not onerous. Select a location, identify a time of day and a day in the week to meet, and the Dutch Network will advertise the event.
