Coffee Morning – Flip Flops, Thursday, 15 July 2010, 10:00 a.m., AAM Clubhouse

For everyone who’s getting tired of hearing that, “…the person you are calling is not reachable”recording when calling friends on home leave or vacation; for everyone who’s just returned to KL from such a trip; and especially for everyone so new to the city that you’ve got few numbers to dial -- this coffee morning is for you! Casual and friendly is the tone so please wear your trusty flip flops and even a sarong and join us for coffee and snacks as we spend a morning at least pretending to be on vacation. Leave the sand and sea shells at home, but do please RSVP to the AAM office by Tuesday, 13 July.

The Café’s popular 2-for-1 Happy Hour will run until 11:00 p.m. when the house band will cover classic and contemporary rock music, so feel free to stay and enjoy the show.
