Casino Night in October
This is one of our biggest Charity events
of the year. We need your help to stock
our “Casino Bucks Store". This "store"
will have a variety of prizes where event
guests will be able to "purchase" items with
their "winnings". While you are on holiday
this summer, please keep an eye out for any
items that you would like to donate to our
"store". Please bring them back to China
with you and get them to someone on the
EAS Board or Charity Committee by
early October. You can email
for more
information or to let us know that we can
pick up your donation. Items should be
in new condition ..... and a good bench
mark is that it should be something you
would want to purchase with your casino
winnings
TAXI CARDS
We are starting to look at our next edition
of taxi cards. If you would like to be part
of the team that works on this or if you
know of places that you think should be
included in the next edition please

The Expatriate Association of Suzhou (EAS) is a nonprofit, noncommercial organization formed for the purpose of providing information and support to the expatriate community in Suzhou. Because the association wishes to remain a noncommercial entity, the EAS Board of Directors has made a decision not to allow commercial advertising on our website or in our monthly newsletter. However, the EAS Board also recognizes that many of our members own or are involved in local businesses that provide valuable services to our membership. Anyone wishing to advertise their business or service on the EAS website must first get approval from the EAS Board of Directors and also join the EAS as a paid member. Anyone who advertises on the EAS website and is not a paid member and has not had board approval will have all posts deleted and their use of the EAS website blocked. For more information on advertising please email admin@suzhouexpats.org
