We are in North America,
so we've got to cover our butt. We are a group of volunteers, not
lawyers, nor (fallen) high paid C.E.O.s. So please check info at the
proper authorities. We just help you find your way.

Wednesday, September 15, 2010 - Tea and
Talents
"Everest Base Camp Adventure by Nasser Nasir and Dirk Kossen"
On March 11, 2010 Nasser and Dirk left Ottawa for a very
interesting and demanding trip to Mount Everest Base Camp (5364
meter) in Nepal. They made a 2.5 week trek by foot on very
rugged and steep paths over a distance of about 150 km.
Certainly a great and unusual experience! Dirk Kossen himself
will tell us about their exciting experiences with the help of
beautiful slides of the always changing landscape and other
interesting cultural aspects of this trip. The presentation will
be in English. Time: Wednesday afternoon, September 15, 2010
from 1.30 - 3.30 p.m. Doors open at 1.15 p.m. Please be on
time as we would like to start the presentation at 1.30 p.m.
Location: Dirk and Tineke Kossen, 55 Chemin des Oies, Luskville,
Quebec, J0X 2G0. Tel. 819-684-4530. The distance from the
Champlain Bridge to the house of the Kossens is about 20 minutes
by car, direction Aylmer. After registration you will receive a
map on how to get to their place and any other information you
may need. We may consider car-pools again... This is a special
and very unusual presentation for the Tea and Talent group and I
expect lots of interest for this. My advice is to register
early in order to avoid disappointment. For information
and registration, preferably by e-mail, please contact: Nel
Korver E-mail: korvers@sympatico.ca Tel. 613-828-0753
