This month, Chatterbox ended up taking place on the same day as Sunday Pick Me Up, which struck me as an opportunity! As a special promotion, Sunday Pick Me Up attendees were able to attend Chatterbox for FREE! This populated the event with a bunch of Eco-Heroes and gave them the opportunity to experience one of our most popular events for the first time.

Last Sunday we hosted another edition of our Chatterbox Language Exchange at Shooters! This month we returned to our regular structure after last month's successful experiment, but we decided to keep the energy levels high with a music-themed gathering.
Chatterbox Language Mixer (April 16, 2023)
Last Sunday I tried something a little different with Chatterbox.

Chatterbox Language Exchange (March 19, 2023)
This month at Chatterbox Language Exchange, we decided to look at film and cinema!

Chatterbox Language Exchange (September 18, 2022)
This weekend, typhoon no.14 AKA Nanmadol, the super-typhoon made its way to the shores of Japan. A lot of people decided to brace for the impact and stayed inside, though not before raiding the convenience stores for supplies, leaving me…
