Join BAIN Downtown for our unique time and day of the month end social. This month only, we are changing the time and day, in hopes that as many members as possible can participate in the discussion.

The program is also a first. Below is a link to an old (35 years old) movie that many many Argentines consider a classic. You will find it a bit dated but very Argentine. It has English subtitles. Since many of you are studying Spanish, it may serve many purposes.

Watch as little or as much as you want. Come with thoughts to share. Info to join the Zoom talk is the same as always. I’ll send it to you if you email me a request, tonilin@aol.com
