We will have our July monthly get-together on Monday, July 11th instead of our normal first Tuesday of the month. We will be meeting on the beautiful pool deck / rooftop ( referred to as the SOL deck) situated on the 4th floor of the new MELIA Hotel, located at 590 West Peachtree Street NW / Atlanta 30308. Our usual start time will be 7:30 until.

In case of rain, we will meet instead on the 25th floor of the hotel in a banquet room overlooking the city. Either way, this should be a great venue for our meeting and we expect a great turn-out.

Valet parking will be available at a reduced rate of $12 – otherwise, feel free to park alongside Spring street where a parking deck (not affiliated with the hotel) is available.

Many thanks,
Your Atlanta EuroCircle team!!!

Join us for a night of Networking in a French atmosphere filled with Absinthe, French Wines, French Cheese and everything French at the Ambassadors bar of Hotel Sofitel. French music in the background and French movies on the screens.

Don t miss this opportunity to get a taste of Absinthe, a drink that became so popular in bars, bistros, cafés, and cabarets that, by the 1860s, the hour of 5 p.m. was called l’heure verte (“the green hour”). Absinthe was favored by all social classes, from the wealthy bourgeoisie to poor artists and ordinary working-class people. By the 1880s, mass production had caused the price of absinthe to drop sharply. By 1910, the French were drinking 36 million liters of absinthe per year (compared to their consumption of almost 5 billion liters of wine).

We will also have the outdoor patio if the weather permits. Make sure to grab your tickets quickly as this is going to be a sold out event. Bring your business cards if you don’t prepay as we will raffle many French related prizes including:

– 2 one night stays at the hotel Sofitel
– 1 diner for two at the Café des Architectes restaurant
– French cooking books, red, rosé and white wine bottles
– Paris/France Posters
– 4 Gift certificates for 12 croissants @ “La Boulangerie”, Chicago’s best French Bakery
– 2x $50 certificates for “La Sardine” Restaurant
– Bourdage Pearls will be raffling a necklace
– Veuve Clicquot champagne bottle
If you have a business or company related to France and would like to offer a prize for the raffle, please contact us

From a coffee connoisseur to anyone – Medici has likely the two best coffee shops in Austin. And now they are opening a brand-new 3rd location in downtown Austin, at the chic and trendy Austonian.
Join us to explore the great coffee drinks, wine and beer (and sandwiches) at this lovely new location scheduled to open at the end of this week (March 7 – 12).

Aaron Vollmer and Jean Pierre, of Runa Workshop, designed their new Austonian space. They have brought some unique ideas and design while still keeping the essentials of Medici (downstairs and mezzanine ..and some outdoor space as well)

EXTRA GIFT: the first 20 people 1) who RSVP and 2) show up will get a special gift (retail value between $20 – 50)

RSVP strongly recommended because we will RESERVE some space based on your firm response.
(note: SXWS makes it busy)

We can stay longer (than 8.30 pm) if we want or move somewhere else for late night dinner like Malaga, The Congress, Annie’s etc)

PARKING: They do not expect the city to be SUPER busy YET this Saturday but if so Austonian has valet parking on Congress Avenue side that you can use.
