Friday, January 15, 2010 The first MES social gathering/pub night of the new year was held at the Shaika Café near the Vendôme Métro in NDG. More than fifteen people, many first-timers, came out to meet fellow Estonians. The consensus was that a similar event should be held on the first Friday of each month. Planning is already underway. Keep an eye on the MES Website for further details. Younger Estonians living and studying in Montreal are especially welcome. Spread the word.

Reedel, 15. jaanuaril, 2010 Esimene MES-i koosviibimine/pubnight toimus Vendomi metrojaama läheduses asuvas Shaika kohvikus. Kohale oli tulnud üle 15 inimese, paljud nendest esmakordselt, et hohata teisi kaaseestlasi. Üldine arvamine oli, et samalaadilisi kokkutulekuid võiks korraldada ka edaspidi, näiteks iga kuu esimesel reedel. Eeltööd selleks on juba käigus. Hoidke oma silm MES-i veebilehel, kus avaldame edasist teavet. Nooremad eestlased, kes õpivad ja elavad Montrealis, on eriti teretulnud. Levitage teadet je kutsuge ka teisi kaasa.
