Please join DACH Basel members for our monthly social hour! This month's get-together will be at Paddy Reilly's, upstairs. Feel free to drop in for a drink, a bite to eat, and some great conversation! After the social hour, we will have our business meeting from 7-9 PM. Everyone is welcome!

Can't make it this month? We have social hours regularly, usually on the 1st Tuesday of each month. Or, if you want to get involved outside of this event, please get in touch with Basel Chapter Chair, Tory Mallett, at basel@democrats.ch.

For February, we will be reading and discussing Our Man by George Packer. This is a biography of Richard Holdbrooke (of Dayton peace accord fame).

Come join us, whether or not you read the book!

Additional information about this (and future) event(s) can be found here.

The AIWC is on the 4th floor of 11 rte. de Chêne. That's just around the corner from the Gare des Eaux-Vives.  Either take the new Leman Express train or trams #12 or #17. There's no easy parking (good luck on the street), but the train or tram make it easy to get to. But if using a car and a parking garage use Villerouge, which is about a 10 minute walk (don't use the Coop 2000 -- it gets locked early and you might have to wait until Wednesday to retrieve your car). Nominal start time is 18:30; if you arrive after 19:00 you'll need the door code to get in.

Not required, but appreciated is if you can bring some food and/or drink to share and Fr. 5.- to help with the room rent.
