Expat Meeting in Recife Sept 14th?

Hi Katia,

If you want to organize a successful Expat-blog meet-up, you're going to have to take the bull by the horns and do it yourself, because it's unlikely anyone else will take the initiative and do it. I suggest that you choose a location that is centrally located and a time, then post a notice with a RSVP date for at least a week before the event, so you can book a reservation or change. The best chances of success will be if you start to plan well ahead of time and post an announcement about 3 weeks before the proposed event.

Really, one week from now is simply not enough time to get many favorable responses from members since most of them will already have their week planned.

If you still wish to organize a meet-up contact me by private message and I will guide you through the process.

Thank You!

I know one week ahead is not much, but I need to comply with my complex travel schedule.

In addition, I've received a few positive replies in private message and am really looking forward to meet expats in Recife.

The number of foreginers in Recife is much smaller than in the big cities where you must be working more frequently, I think the approach to contact expats and the reaction to such proposal may be different...so far it's been very positive.

..and if they can't do that "meet-up", they can join the next one!

Cheers,
Catherine

ps: oh and for those interested, I'll post the time and location once defined!

Hi Katie,

Sounds great, hope you get a fairly decent turnout and you guys have lots of fun.

Bonjour Catherine:

Bom Dia!!

Hi Everyone!!!

I've received a number of positive answers to the "expat-event" proposal (thank you!!), and it is actually the Birthday of one of our "Recife Expat-Blog" member this Saturday who proposed that we join her and her friends to celebrate!! how great, so the meet-up is now set!!

We will meet at Gio Restaurante in BoaViagem at 5PM, Saturday September 14th... it is a new restaurant that looks very fun, with music shows and turns into a bar/club later on... it gets crowded early, so if you can't make it at 5, pass by later during the night(of course) but there may be a little wait.

don't hesitate to contact me to let me know if you'd like to join, if you have questions, or with other ideas of meet-up!!

Happy Friday in Recife,
Catherine

RESTAURANT ADDRESS: Gio Pizzeria D.O.C & Grill
Av. Fernando Simões Barbosa, 170 - Boa Viagem, Recife - PE, 51020-390 ‎

Ok, I sent you a positive answer.

See you!

Thanks

Merci Dayse,
Bien Recu Votre Reponse!! A demain!

Hi Catherine!
Its been a month since I have moved to Recife! Please let us know when the next meet will happen. I have a similar ambition to establish a strong expat community here in Recife... would like to help!

Cheers for the initiative!
