Philosophy Cafe has held monthly meetings since September of 1999. For the first thirteen months, meetings were held at Open Kitchen in Wan Chai, organized by <a href="http://www.hkbu.edu.hk/~ppp">Steve Palmquist</a>. In July of 2000 an Executive Committee was formed to assist with implementing the vision of establishing and overseeing the operation of multiple local &quot;branches&quot; of the HKPC. Starting in October of 2000 this process began with the transformation of the original group into the &quot;Kowloon Branch&quot;, held at Curtain Up in the HK Cultural Centre, Tsim Tsa Tsui (founded by Steve Palmquist), and the setting up of a new, &quot;Fringe Branch&quot;, held at Fringe Club in Central (founded by <a href="mailto:rbutler@i-wave.net">Roy Butler</a>). In March of 2001 a third branch was set up to conduct monthly meetings in Chinese (initially organized by a committee). In December of 2003, two new branches were started: a French Branch, held at the Alliance Francaise in Jordan (founded by <a href="mailto:mailto:eric.sacher@alliancefrancaise.com.hk">Eric Sacher</a>), and the Happy Friday Branch, held initially at Zenses in Central (founded by <a href="mailto:sns_team@s-n-s.com">Clifford Setyono</a>).<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:12.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left: 12.0pt;mso-para-margin-top:5.0pt;mso-para-margin-right:1.0gd;mso-para-margin-bottom: 5.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:1.0gd'><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Meeting announcements and occasional monthly notices from the Executive Committee are posted to the HKPC's email announcements list.
