Hi!!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Greetings from Germany! I\u2019m spending this week visiting my parents, which means the Dublin Event Guide is coming to you from a quieter place than usual. While I\u2019m away from the buzz of Dublin, I\u2019ve still been keeping an eye on what\u2019s happening and have put together a more compact edition for you.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

With limited time on my hands, this week\u2019s guide focuses on the key events \u2014 the standout highlights you shouldn\u2019t miss. It\u2019s a shorter list than usual but still packed with great free events that will brighten your weekend.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

The energy, creativity and variety of events are what make Dublin such a unique place to live and explore \u2014 and I\u2019m happy to help you tap into that, no matter where I am.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Thanks for your continued support and understanding! Whether you\u2019re out and about or taking it slow, enjoy what Dublin has to offer this weekend. I\u2019ll be back with the full edition soon \u2014 but for now, dive in and make the most of the best free events around.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Donations in June:
\nEUR 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\n(By the end of the month, this number has\u00a0to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

The counter here shows the current donation status. By the end of the month EUR 200 will be subtracted to pay the bills. If more money has been donated, the rest will be carried forward. If donations have stopped below the EUR 200, the missing amount will be carried over.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

This week the wonderful people that donated to the Dublin Event Guide were Joe, Brendan, Jana, Mark and Katherine . Thank you so much!!! I appreciate you and your donation!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

With your help we reached exactly the amount that was needed with 1 Euro to spare! Perfect! May done, next focus is June, now we have a whole month again to get 200 Eur again.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and it is truly a wonderful group of people who help keeping the Dublin Event Guide going. Join this exclusive group! Without donations to pay the bills I will not be able to continue.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Here are some more details about donations:
\nAny amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That\u2019s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that Euro! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 4. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: https:\/\/gturl.eu\/DEGdonate<\/a>. It is really easy to use and uses Stripe’s trustworthy payment processing. You can even sign up for a yearly subscription on the donation page! Yearly subscriptions will give some important financial stability and reliability to the Dublin Event Guide and are therefore very much appreciated! (Look for the RED<\/span> subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via http:\/\/www.paypal.me\/DublinEventGuide<\/a> or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb <\/strong>or now also https:\/\/revolut.me\/joergbrb<\/a>
\n(If possible, please send your full name and e-mail address as a message with the payment via PayPal or Revolut so that I can tell you about bonuses for donors when available.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here https:\/\/www.buymeacoffee.com\/DublinEventG<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n


\n\"\"<\/a><\/center><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

And there is one other way to help and it is even free:\u00a0If you come to\u00a0http:\/\/www.DublinEventGuide.com<\/a>\u00a0and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent!\u00a0?<\/p>\n

All events are free, but access is by registration only. And these events are POPULAR!! So when I get to checking them out on the Friday before they take place, the most interesting ones are usually already booked out. If you are interested, check them out here https:\/\/cultureclubdublin.ticketsolve.com\/ticketbooth\/shows <\/a>(This week you only see a few, because every month a new batch is uploaded not in a rolling way, but in a month by month way.)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES<\/strong>
\nIs there ever a wrong time for learning a new skill or enhancing what you are already interested in? Maybe it is a language or an instrument or some technical skills? Or something completely different? Nearly every subject is there! Check out Udemy via the link below, they have thousands of courses and there is good chance that what you are looking for is available. Nearly all the courses are REALLY affordable!
\nThe lowest price most of the time is EUR 12.99. Sometimes it even goes down further to EUR 9.99 and when that happens (about once or twice a year), I will tell you. But even 12.99 is definitely a good price for what you get! –\u00a0Check out the website at https:\/\/www.getthislink.com\/Udemy22<\/a> And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
