Austin – June 23 2013

Hello everyone!

City of Austin, Global Austin and EuroCircle ((Austin Polish Society, Casa de Espana Austin etc). will be joining hands and building the next great event together by hosting an International Potluck. This means that you can all bring your traditional dishes and have other members experience new flavors and most of all, your cooking skills! This is no Top Chef event, but it will be a great way to challenge yourself and share your culture with just a bite of heaven.

This event will be hosted at Icenhauer’s on Sunday June 23, starting at 5:30pm. All drinks will be available for purchase at the bar, and all food will be nicely organized according to the different flavors you bring to the table.
21 + event

We ask that all members who wish to bring a dish send details to Allison Berguin or Kaisa Kokkonen. If you just want to attend, that is no problem, but this is a great opportunity to share something you are proud of. Kaisa is at kaisa@eurocircle.com

Global Austin will have a table set up so you can talk about upcoming events and add the events you are excited about to their calendar. The best marketing tool is word of mouth, keep that in mind.

Food always brings people together, so keep this date open. Go work out and come hungry!

We look forward to seeing you then!

The EuroCircle team

P.S.: We will provide plates, forks, knives, spoons and napkins, but please use your dish and utensil you wish to serve with (email kaisa(at) eurocircle (dot) com ). And we will keep a list in the forums – on the RSVP page – off all the dishes we know someone is bringing

INTERNATIONAL WELCOME AMBASSADOR PROGRAM:

The City of Austin started 2013 with a new program to welcome international newcomers to our city. The International Welcome Program helps international newcomers to quickly feel at home in our city and to connect to community resources and information. There are three initiatives being started under this program.

The City launched an online international calendar and information portal in partnership with GlobalAustin at InternationalAustin.org The website features a calendar of international events, a newcomer’s guide, and feature articles about Austin residents and organizations who are engaged in international activities. The organizations vary from Austin Polish Society, Casa de Espana Austin, Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce to Russian Speakers Society of Austin (plus all NON-European groups).

What is Eurovision?

The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual competition held among active member countries of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

Each member country submits a song to be performed on live television and then casts votes for the other countries’ songs to determine the most popular song in the competition. The Contest has been broadcast every year since its inauguration in 1956 and is one of the longest-running television programs in the world. It is also one of the most-watched non-sporting events in the world, with audience figures having been quoted in recent years as anything between 100 million and 600 million internationally.

Join EuroCircle Austin at this lovely brand-new upscale Jazz and Blues lounge during the International Women’s Week. The International Women’s day in on Friday but due to SXSW we decided to do PRE-SXSW event to avoid all the parking & traffic hassles with hiked up pricing etc. The venue has elements of the 20s and Paris chic…you have to see it to know what I mean. You’d feel comfortable in a cocktail dress = dress up f you feel like it – and jeans, equally so. And the staff is super nice.

Showcase: French Chansons (5 Songs) at 7.30 pm

Brass House Austin was conceived by Jason White while operating in a combat zone with the United States Marine Corps. He dreamed of moving to Austin and opening a live music venue at the completion of his service with the hope of providing a relaxed and enjoyable environment for those who enjoy the sounds of jazz and blues. Brass House is the realization of that dream. Jason believes strongly in community involvement and support and welcomes any and all local charities if they wish to host events in our space. We look forward to offering support and discounts to our active duty and retired military customers.
