Helen Jekabsons (Helen J)

Participates in 1 Session

The unofficial but traditional Tea & Quiet Chats format & day/time for 2021 is yet to be decided, due to the new ANZAC weekend program format. It will be in Helen's hotel room, with all peeps welcome to drop by to share herbal tea and quiet chats. The room number will be put on the main information whiteboard.

Please note: all teas will be herbal and will contain NO caffeine. Some snacks provided. Quietness will be enforced. BYO just yourself. A door notice will tell you if we are still up or have gone to bed, so you can drop by to check, even if it's 1am!
