Thank you Mel.

All in the UAE, I hope you can take part in this group. My name is Jen, I am thirty years old and I am a second-generation Boglehead. I live in Abu Dhabi, but most of the response for this group I received was from Dubai.

I was hoping we could hold our first meet up this Friday for Iftar (the 11th). I see one called "Brasserie" in Le Royal Meridien in Dubai Marina. Please tell me about your availability. I have gotten a few responses already so please tell me if you can come if you haven't already.

Hello everyone!

This is to let you know that Jen and I are organizing the first bogleheads meeting for the UAE chapter this weekend! This will be a good opportunity to share expat experiences and advice on implementing an effective index investing strategy.

We will meet in Dubai Marina on Saturday the 12 July 2014 for Iftar. If you are interested in joining, please PM me with your email address and I will add you to the mailing list.

Cheers,
Viracocha
