I want to build on NY's newest Esther's appreciation for a first NYC Stammtisch, in a while.We had fun, enjoyable conversation and discovered the many links, interests and connections between us. For those of you who want to plan ahead, look towards October, and share preferred days/dates and we will do our best to schedule the next Stammtisch.
Thanks Michael M. Pannwitz for all your support and enthusiasm.
