Children's book about giant pandas
Dear Colleagues, Friends and Family - Many of you have written to me asking if there is a way to help the people and pandas in Sichuan following the earthquake. Many of you also may know that Zhang Zhihe (Director of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding) and I consulted on a children's book about giant pandas and it has just been published in the UK and US and is available in book stores and on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias=stripbooks&field-keywords=Watch+Me+Grow+Panda

We just learned from the president of Penguin Books in the UK that they will be donating all of the proceeds of the book to our Panda Base for use for relief efforts for giant panda reserves most affected by the earthquake (rebuilding patrol stations and other infrastructure, as well as helping the families of reserve staff and local schools). Once these pressing needs are met, we will use any other remaining proceeds to support our conservation education programs.
This book may be a nice gift for a child you know or as a donation to a local library, school, museum, or children's hospital. We think that it would also sell quite well in zoo gift shops.
Thank you for considering purchasing this book, for the children you will touch, and the relief efforts it will support.
best wishes always,
Sarah

Religion:

Catholic Church Chengdu
Cathedral 29 Pinganqiao, Chengdu, Sichuan 610015
From the Sheraton Lido, coming out the front door, walk down the driveway to the right (north). The street that borders the hotel on the north is Yuhe Side Street. Take it to the left (west). Walk two blocks to the end of the street. It jogs slightly around the Tianfu Exposition Center. Where the street ends, go left (south) onto Pinganqiao. The church is in the first block on the West side of the street. You will walk along the low brick wall with niches for statues of saints before you come to the church.
Times: English mass at 4pm Saturdays. Chinese mass at 7:30 and 10 am on Sunday


Christian Fellowship
From the Carrefour Great World store near Orchard Villas It is very close but a little complicated. Facing Carrefour, Turn right (west) and walk to the large shopping mall building facing you. It has a large open space running from east to west. Walk all the way through to the western end of the building. Look to your right and you will see an elevator. Take it to the third floor. Bring you passport or other id that shows you are a foreigner. The Chinese government allows foreigners to worship as they choose, so the fellowship is required to check ids.

Time: 10 am Sundays.

My name is Sophia Chiang, and I am the founder and CEO of Qlubb, a website that is designed to help multi-tasking parents manage and organize their children's playgroups and other real-life activities and groups.  As a veteran room mother, playgroup coordinator and community volunteer I became frustrated at the frequent miscommunication and overhead associated with getting people on the same page, sharing photos/ideas, and just getting stuff done (it often was like herding cats).
After evaluating many products, I found them to be too difficult to use, incomplete, and ineffective.  As a multi-tasking mother of young children, I TOTALLY understand time limitations and task juggling.  So, out of this Qlubb was born.  Qlubb is the easiest, the most intuitive and the most inviting way to get groups online, collaborating and getting stuff done.  Qlubb offers all the tools necessary for playgroups in one easy and intuitive place: event calendar, shared to do lists, photos, automatic reminders, sign-up sheets, roster management, public web page, etc...
We launched our beta service a few months ago and already several thousand users are regularly using our service.  We would like to invite you to be one of our founding group of users and to regularly receive cool Qlubb stuff as a small token of our appreciation.
Please feel free to contact me directly.
