Hi guys, this is going to be a special edition where we will also have some live band and music to switch it up. How is this related to AI? Well, when AI is here to automate the mundane things in life, us humans can reflect on what make us humans, and enjoy the life in us. +++ I think we've passed our 25/26th month mark now, we lost track! Our drinks night's unique point is NO PRESSURE. Everyone is just chilling, learning, and empathetic and supportive to each other's AI journey, wherever they currently are at. So, join our monthly networking drinks night: MERAKIS DRINKS Whether you are working on an AI project, learning about it, or simply curious about the scene, come make some new friends :) Simple as that Location: Acquasala italian restaurant, wine bar & cafe 13 Elgin St · Central, hk People who joined our previous events had come from all walks of life including entrepreneurs, finance and banking, data science, branding, marketing, architecture and UX, you name it! Come meet some new friends. Some had found cofounders, friends, even life partners from our event. It's the good vibes. All welcome, if you are new to our events, you will be even more warmly welcomed :) & Bring friends! More the merrier. Some questions you may like to ask other attendees when you meet them for the first time: \- How are you using AI in your daily life at this moment? \- What excites you the most about the new models of AI that came out most recently? \- What are you future plans in your AI exploration journey? Please note: \- If you attend our events\, we would assume it's ok to have you in our group photos :\) \- It's a Buy Your Own Drink situation :\) We are not commercially related to the venue and this is a non\-profit event\, we are friends who come together for a good chat\, please buy your own drink\! :\) \- Please don't sell us insurance XD it's not appropriate at this event\. \- If you have trouble finding us\, please reach Adeline via Adeline's LinkedIn https://www\.linkedin\.com/in/adelinechanhokming/ Follow us on ig [@merakis.ai](http://merakis.ai/) Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/company/merakisai Co-organizer Adeline's Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/adelinechanhokming

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “Create a better world” by helping serve those in need. NOTE: We’re switching it up this time and going with a DINNER shift on Mon, 7/6. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for DINNER from 4:30 to 6:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 4:20pm and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking are available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to those volunteering at this (or any of our previous or future) CMG Gives Back events! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
