AARO 3rd Thursday - 21st June
Dear AARO Members,
3rd Thursday is due to take place this week, June 21st. Unless anyone has recommendations for an alternative venue with comfortable outside and inside options (weather looks unpredictable for Thursday), I will book space at Sv. Ignace, Jecna 5, Prague 2 from 6pm. Trams 4,6,10,16,22,23, nearest metro, Karlovo namesti.
This could be the last scheduled 3rd Thursday before people take off for the summer, so come along and cool off if you can.
No rsvp necessary, but if you do plan to come it would be good to know roughly how many to expect.
Greeting from Prague to all Members who are already elsewhere!
Jeremy

Saturdays in June - Flanna Sheridan
Dear AARO Members,
You may like to know about a series of events being organized by AARO Member Flanna Sheridan, details below:
Every Saturday in June at Shakespeare and Sons: Music and Short Films
Entrance is free, but a cup will be passed around for donations for two charities!
The two charities are:
ARYA, an association for Afghan orhpans and widows, 100% of donations goes to literacy. (Only 1000kc pays a teacher for 90 children for a whole month!)
And closer to home:
The Via Foundation is a charitable organization which provides small grants, and expertise to non-profit community initiatives in the Czech Republic.
SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 8pm:
Music by Ken Nash and The Coins
Short films by students of Prague Film School
Shakespeare and Sons, Krymska 12 in Vrsovice
Tramstop Krymska, trams 22, 23, 4
From Miru: get off at Krymska, continue 1/2 block the same direction as the tram, turn right down a street with a railing in the middle and then take a left. Follow Krymska 1/2 block to Shakespare and Sons. Easy!
Come enjoy music and film for two good causes!
