[Meetup] Friday March 19th: Community Social‌‌

[Lizzie]

Hello everyone,

It's social meetup time again. This meetup will be back to our usual social meetup format–for anyone who hasn't attended before they are very relaxed online chats where we come together from across the world and imagine we are having a coffee with friends. Can you think of a nicer way to kick start the weekend? 🙂 

We haven't had an APAC friendly time zone for a few weeks, so I thought it was about time. I know this will be early for a few of you based in North America–sorry about this.

I've heard that the new Friday, is actually Friday (totally made that up), so our next social meetup will take place on Friday, March 19th, 2021 (12PM UK). I know we have a bit of movement with the world timezones as the seasons change over the next couple of weeks, so I'm hoping I get them all correct below.  

* Here are a few timezones to help you know when the meetup is happening:

Friday March 19th, 5AM  (San Francisco / Vancouver)

Friday March 19th, 7AM  (Kansas City / Pensacola, Florida)

Friday March 19th, 8AM (New York / Toronto)

Friday March 19th, 1PM  (Spain / Netherlands)

Friday March 19th,  9PM (Seoul)

Friday March 19th,  9:30PM (Darwin)

Friday March 19th, 10:30PM  (Adelaide) 

Let me know if you are unsure of the timing in your area.

New to CC socials: For anyone new to the socials, it's a regular online meetup where CC members come together to connect with each other and have a bit of positivity along the way. It's not specifically Airbnb focused and anyone new is very welcome.

Hi @Debra300 

You're always welcome here in Asia !! Let's hope not too long you can visit all of us! 😄 

[Ann72]

@Debra300 I can't wait to see you in New York!!!

(The little elf inside my computer didn't tell me about the tag here or I would have answered sooner!)

[Cathie19]

I think @Jessica-and-Henry0 , you’ve done a great job and yes, a lovely way to catch up with our global friends. Good to see a few returning from busy times and welcome to some newbies to our chats! Sadly, @Alexandra316 & @Christine615  didn’t get to see you, to have a chat this week.... Not to mention @Paul1255  & @Gordon0 . 😭

@Lizzie @Stephanie @Quincy @Nick 

@Yuan100 @Debra300 @Cathie19 @Ann72 @Robin4 @Clara116 @Inna22 @Marissa107 @Roberta2 @Lawrene0 @Bez8 @Till-and-Jutta0 @Shelley319 @Nutth0 @Merrydith0 @Mary996 

Sorry Christine Br and Laurelle, I don’t know your avatars to tag you!

[Mary996]

Thanks @Cathie19 for including me and for the tag! Good to see you. Thank you for the warm feeling you create. I will get a properly working lap top at some point I promise. It must be wierd to only be able to hear an indistinct voice from behind a blacked out section behind the screen!! Thing is a new laptop is just horrendously priced so I am hoping my daughter will remember that she promised to pass one on!

[Yuan100]

Thanks @Cathie19  for the photos and your warm gestures as always! 

[Nutth0]

@Cathie19 Thanks for a great picture and a warm welcome  🤗

[Christine615]

I was there in "spirit" ... Next time for sure!

[Mary996]

Hi @Christine615  did we speak via the written chat last time at the zoom meeting? I was very pleased to meet you. I believe you had to speak to someone behind the scenes so we lost you. If you remember and it was you best wishes from me! Mary x Hope you were able to resolve the issue you were having. Feel free to PM me.

[Cathie19]

Good to know @Christine615, for our tribe isn’t complete without you! 🌻

[Mary996]

That's a lovely thing to say @Cathie19 about  @Christine615 . I also very much hope to see more of her if its possible.

[Merrydith0]

@Jessica-and-Henry0  @Debra300  @Mary996 @Lizzie @Christine615 @ It was fun, thanks everyone. My first Community Centre social. Hope to see you all again. Merri 

[Mary996]

Hi Merri. It was lovely to meet you too. My second meet up. Sorry for having no image due to lap top problems... but I was there !!!!!! Hope to see you around in discussions to help Guests and other Hosts? xx Mary

[Nutth0]

@Mary996 You already know how to put ❤️ ... next time try cool background 😁

[Mary996]

Haha....!! OK @Nutth0 

I will try that but can't promise the inventiveness of @Bez8 .... although I think we collectively voted down the prison backdrop...??! Do you agree Nutth?

I was very much getting the Buddhist vibe from you Nutth, its my religion too ...is it yours? However I am an appalling example but its an aspiration. Forgive my lack of knowledge if yours is another!! I do hope to learn more about your country. Lots of love to you, your partner and family, you are such an asset to the team. Thank you so much for being on-board!!

[Nutth0]

@Mary996 Yes, Mary. I am buddhism​ and I also have a chance​ to become​ monk for shot period​ of time. It is like a traditional​ of Thai man to become​ a monk during​ a time they turn​ to adult. I am so glad​ buddhism​ is help sharp and remind​ your journey​ of​ life.

One of my Experiences​ are also relate​ to Buddhism​ as I took my guests​ hike to a temples​ on the mountain. 😁

By the ​way, In UK, if you interesting​more about Hinayana Buddhism

I will recommend​ visit Wat Amaravati. They also have a website.
