Count me in for this one(on saturday). Thanks for setting it all up.

Bechum, I have one suggestion for our group. Why dont we do charity at weekend so that our members can understand more about each others and do good things for community ? ( or a picnic at weekend near HCM city ....? )
I am going to go to Tra Vinh to do charity with others friends on Saturday so that I can't come back on time to join in our meet-up.
Best regards,
Kim Ngan
