Chalo Newsletter
This colourful monthly newsletter, delivered to the home of all members, will keep you up to date with all Mumbai Connexions news. Details of who to contact for the various activities are listed inside.

Coffee Mornings
First and Third Wednesdays of Every Month from 10:30am-12:00pm ~ Venue Changes
Each fortnight a coffee morning is hosted by one of our members, who provide a friendly and informal venue, where both existing members and newcomers get a chance to catch-up with each other and to welcome new arrivals. It is also an excellent opportunity to keep abreast with what’s happening in Mumbai.
Occasionally a coffee morning might include any of the following: a cultural session featuring a special guest speaker; a craftsperson exhibiting their products; we may visit a new or interesting shop or be invited by a hotel to experience their hospitality. Every effort is made to alternate our coffee mornings between South, North and the middle of Mumbai. A nominal charge of Rs100 is made and goes to one of the charities supported by Mumbai Connexions.
Every fifth Wednesday sees a joint coffee morning with our sister club - The American Woman’s Club of Bombay (AWC). For information about dates and venues consult the Chalo newsletter.

Craft Group
Every Thursday 10:30–1:00pm - Bandra West
The Craft Group meets on a weekly basis to make items for the annual craft sale.
The projects worked on vary from greetings cards and gift tags, to Christmas decorations, gift bags, cushions, cross-stitched towels and much more.
After the year-long preparations the sale typically takes place in early November, just in time for some early Christmas shopping. All proceeds from the sale go to local charities. In recent years we have bought audio visual equipment for a school for underprivileged children and funded many cataract eye operations. See the Chalo newsletter for further information and contact details.
