ExPatsWest meets on the 4th Wednesday of each month. We have grown from less than 40 at our first social, to more than 150. We will be gathering on the 23th of September 2009, starting at 5:00pm or whenever you get there. Our get-together will be in Coronado at Rincon del Chef.
To reach the restaurant, turn off the highway at the Coronado REY store onto the main road toward the beach. The restaurant is on the right in the Mercado Artesanal de Coronado--a charming little center built in the old Panamanian country style.
The restaurant telephone number is 6676-4834.
What follows is an update of an article I wrote for the Panama Guide. Remember, it is almost always the 4th Wednesday of the month!
See you there.
"In February of 2005, ExPatsWest began as a spin-off of one of the Panama City ExPat Social groups. The groups are composed of new and established expats, their friends, their neighbors, their families, their guests, and their business associates.
ExPatsWest filled a need for a social group in the area west of Panama City along the highway to Coronado and beyond and up to El Valle and Altos del Maria. Many of our neighbors cannot make the hour and a half or more trek home from the Panama City groups late at night. Others of us still attend the other events and see ExPatsWest as a place to meet our nearer neighbors.
ExPatsWest has a name and an email reminder list. However, we have no membership, no dues, no agenda, no speakers, and the barest of organization. We just meet and eat and have a good time.
It is a great place to network by meeting new people and seeing old friends and finding out about living west of Panama City from people who are thrilled to be here.
Our schedule is to meet the 4th Wednesday of each month at 5:00 pm in Coronado.
We average about 60 people but we have had over 150 people--always some new participants as well as regulars.
Don't miss the fun. We have lots of couples and lots of singles.
Come alone or bring a friend. Everyone is welcome, including those of you who happen to be traveling in the area at the right time."
