Rusty French Group
Do you want to renew and refresh your French language speaking and listening skills? Join a few like-minded folks who want to venture forth in enjoyable easy conversation.
The Rusty French Group was formed in 2008 with the goal of gathering persons of Franco-American descent, or anyone interested in the history or language of that rich heritage. Meetings are enjoyable, as evidenced by the growing number of participants, more social than academic, and no dues are collected.
Meetings are on the fourth Tuesday of the month in the Community Room. All are welcome!
NEXT MEETINGS: 6:00 pm, Tuesday, January 24 and February 28.
