PILC’s February Coffee Morning was held at Pan Pan Restaurant on Thepprasit Road in Jomtien. A favorite venue for members of the Club, 72 ladies showed up to meet old friends, make some new ones, and to sample the delicious buffet of snacks laid out by the restaurant.
President Helle Rantzen welcomed everybody and introduced the newly elected executive board to members, thanking them for volunteering their time to ensure that Club business is administered effectively. She then went on to make Club announcements, reminding members of upcoming trips and events, including a tour of Bumrungrad Hospital, an exploration of Naklua and the Mangrove Regeneration Project, and a boat trip to Bird Island.
Helle also spoke about her plans to make the club luncheons themed affairs this year, with the next one – which will be held at the Holiday Inn’s Havana Bar – having a Latin-American flair to it.
As usual, Club VP, Joyce Aldridge, was on hand with raffle tickets, the proceeds of which go to help PILC’s various charitable endeavors.
The guest speaker for the day was a physical therapist and exercise guru who spoke to the ladies about the importance of keeping in good health through regular exercise and good nutrition. March is Nutrition Month, he reminded everyone, and urged them to be aware of the value of what they eat.
The next coffee morning will be held at Le Ferme Restaurant in Naklua, another Club favorite. For more information about PILC, please go to their website at www.pilc-pattaya.com, or email [email protected].
