Coffee, English and Neighbourhood Men

Carol's been doing the Mother and Child program for neighbourhood women with preschoolers, an English conversational class for women, and a Kindergarten program for area mothers and their children.

So, it was time for me to connect with the husbands of these women. We had an English Cafe a couple of weeks ago, and six neighbourhood men joined Don Love and me for discussions on a variety of topics.

One thing I learned was that the men were neutral on the topic of the 2016 Olympics going to Rio and not to Tokyo, which would have put Harumi at the centre of attention. You can see my post earlier this month about the Olympics.

We're planning to continue the English Cafe in November and in December as well, with some special guests from Edmonton attending, and we're hoping even more men will attend.

Live Coffee is a shop in Tsukishima, the island next to ours. Their Royal Blend coffee is very good. Everyone in the area knows of Live Coffee.
