Tom,
     That restaurant in North Park has very good food.  I enjoyed it there.  I think you have also made a lot of effort to organize a good group.  Thank you.
     Unfortunately, the two times that I was there, the Brazilian ladies who were also present kept entirely to themselves.  I could not practice with them.  I have found it more profitable to find Brazilians on Skype who are trying to learn English. It has helped me a lot.
     Wayne, if you read this message, get in touch with me.  I have some ideas for you.

Yours Faithfully,

Bradley Nelson

 Hi
 Tom, 
 I want to
 learn Portuguese but know nothing. I do not even know the
 standard beginning phrase "hello, how are you?". 
 Mondays are bad days for me because I live in Temecula and
 have to get up at 4:00am to work the next day. I would
 really like to learn the language because it would help me
 in my work. Anybody that would volunteer their time
 (hopefully our schedules would synch)or point me to a
 web-site or other direction would be
 appreciated.Thanks, Wayne

 Hi
 Tom, 
 I am one
 of the new members and currently am living in Temecula and
 came down a couple of times but no one comes. For me
 it's a long drive minimum two hours that's for time
 lid the gas. Why don't people show up?

 Our group is almost 5 years
 old. Meetup is raising the price they charge me to sponsor
 the group. Several dozen new members, but none show up. Is
 it time to fold up our tent? If we can get 8 people to RSVP
 positively for this Monday, April 20, I will drive the 40
 minutes round trip to be with you. Otherwise, should we
 change to only ONE meeting per month? This group is for you
 to improve your Portuguese; if you've lost interest,
 please let me know. Muito obrigado. Abraços, Tom
