EuroCircle celebrates its 10th Anniversary – the actual date for the for the first event in NYC first was Monday, Jan 11 1999 (City Hall restaurant in Tribeca)

Featuring Finland and more – Ambassador Kirsti Lintonen (permanent representative/Finland to United Nations) allows us to celebrate at her beautiful residence.

This event will be BY INVITATION only and you must be on the guest list to attend. Space is strictly limited. All $75 payments will be collected in-advance so our chef can prepare hors d’ouvres for cocktail style reception. Drinks: the selected wines, soft drinks, juices and vodka mixed drinks. And since we are enjoying the Finnish athmosphere, we are tasting the fantastic Finlandia Cheeses!

Visit www.finlandiacheese.com for more info!

Luksusowa Vodka & Zubrowka Vodka will complete the tour around Europe! These exceptional upscale Polish Potato base vodkas are fantastic. Luksusowa, the Polish word for “luxury, has a superior taste that is a result of its potato-base. Most domestic vodkas are distilled from corn, most imported vodkas from rye. But Luksusowa is painstakingly made from Poland’s select potato crop grown exclusively in the Baltic coast region of North Poland. It takes ten times more potatoes than it would take of grain to make Luksusowa, the preferred vodka of people who can taste and appreciate the smoother texture and richer taste.

COMPLIMENTARY GIFTBAG BY LUMENE
All attendees will receive a complimentary GIFT BAG from LUMENE – the leading European Skin Care company. Your gift bag will include Lumene’s Radiant Vitamin C + Beauty Drops and Sensitive Brown Mascaras.

5,000 sf loft + 3,400 sf planted terrace

Wear your best Bond costume inspired by the films. Of course, all the men might eagerly come as James Bond, and the party would be filled with Bond look-alikes wearing tuxes (NICE, the ladies would like that) – a nice stylish outfit will be fine instead of a tux. Please no sloppy sneakers, t-shirts – stylish attire recommended. You can wear costumes inspired by other James Bond characters, including villains such as Blofeld, Dr. No or Goldfinger. As for the ladies, you can dress up as popular Bond girls, such as Octopussy, Honey Ryder, and Mary Goodnight, wearing their sexiest cocktail/evening wear – or bikinis if you happen to be lucky enough to look like a Bond girl.

3 European DJs:

DJ Jack Meister(a.k.a DJ Palamuth), DJ Mike Rich and DJ Tossun

Full open bar all night

COST:
$45 at the door with online RSVp by 6 pm that evening
$55 without RSVP

Quotation from Wikipedia:
“Quantum of Solace (2008) is the 22nd James Bond film by EON Productions, released in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2008 and due in North America on 14 November. The sequel to the 2006 film Casino Royale, it is directed by Marc Forster, and features Daniel Craig’s second performance as James Bond. In the film, Bond battles Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a member of the Quantum organisation posing as an environmentalist, who intends to stage a coup d’état in Bolivia to take control of its water supply. Bond seeks revenge for the death of Vesper Lynd, and is assisted by Camille Montes (Olga Kurylenko).

Producer Michael G. Wilson created the film’s plot while Casino Royale was shooting. Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Paul Haggis and Joshua Zetumer contributed to the script. The title was chosen from a 1960 short story in Ian Fleming’s For Your Eyes Only, though the film does not contain any elements of the original story. Location filming took place in Panama, Chile, Italy and Austria, while interior sets were built and filmed at Pinewood Studios. Forster aimed to make a modern film that also featured classic cinema motifs: an antique aeroplane was used for a dogfight sequence, and Dennis Gassner’s set designs are reminiscent of Ken Adam’s work on several early Bond films. Taking a course away from the usual Bond villains, Forster rejected any grotesque appearance for the character Dominic Greene to emphasize the hidden and secret nature of the film’s (and society’s) modern day corporate villains.”

“Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.”

It’s pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness. Poverty and wealth have both failed. ~Frank McKinney “Kin” Hubbard

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. ~Margaret Young

Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible. ~St. Augustine

Can anything be so elegant as to have few wants, and to serve them one’s self? ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second. ~Logan Pearsall Smith, Afterthoughts, 1931

EuroCircle/HYVÄ Nordic Walk in Central Park –

‘AMP UP YOUR WALK IN THE PARK’

HYVÄ Nordic Walking has introduced the activity to New York and has partnered with EuroCircle for an exclusive group walk.

They use a wireless audio system to provide real time teaching cues and a music soundtrack. You just need to bring along a set of earphones to plug into the receiver. They provide the Nordic Walking poles.

This event is limited to 10 people. If they sell out there will be a second walk on Sunday, October 16th at noon. Cost is $10 cash payable before the walk.
PLEASE LET ALEXANDRA KNOW ASAP IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND email: newyork (at) eurocircle (dot) com

Have you ever Nordic Walked or know of someone that does? You probably do as 12 million people from Scandinavia, Germany, Austria and the UK enjoy Nordic Walking as a fitness workout. Now you can enjoy this low impact, Finnish cardio activity outdoors in Central Park.

There is a brief warm up and instruction period followed by a relaxed pace on the Bridle paths around the reservoir. We will cover 3.6 km in 45 minutes while taking in the fall foliage. Nordic Walking achieves the same intensity as running but without the stress and high impact on joints. Join fellow expats for a ‘walk in the park’.

What to wear: Wear layers for the fall weather. Comfortable walking shoes or sneakers. Do not bring a handbag. A bag pack or belt bag is fine. Please arrive 15 minutes early so we can adjust your equipment. Hydrate (try to use bathroom facilities before the walk).

Instructor: Sonja Johansson

QUOTE from their website: “When done correctly, Nordic walking can burn up to 40 percent more calories than regular walking, reduce knee and joint stress, boost oxygen consumption (which, in turn, benefits the brain) and help realign the body after a day hunched at a desk. It can even appeal to the exercise-averse since it feels easier than other exercises that require equal effort, says Dr. Pam Roberts, a family physician who teaches Nordic walking as a health and wellness coach at The Summit Medical Fitness Center in Kalispell, Montana. “[Nordic walkers] are getting a higher level of fitness, but they’re not feeling the drudgery of it,” she says.

More than a hobby, the sport – which has a low risk for injury and can be done virtually anywhere that’s walkable, from shopping malls to city sidewalks – can be therapeutic for a wide range of health conditions, including fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a condition in which people’s damaged nerves can make it difficult to sense the ground when walking. Poles change that, Roberts says.

Nordic walking can also relieve people with orthopedic issues. One of Roberts’ clients, Diana Dorris, for example, first tried the activity a few years ago after all but giving up on being able to walk comfortably again. The now 66-year-old in Kalispell, Montana, had undergone two hip replacements and used canes to get around when she had to; otherwise, she called on others to help out. “I was bent over and really hobbling,” she says. Then, she attended Roberts’ seminar on Nordic walking, and her outlook changed.”
