Join a casual French-only conversation group where you can practice conversational skills and ask questions about vocabulary and grammar, if you’d like. No pressure – just a fun, relaxed environment. Register at https://www.frenchinstitute.net/registerccs to drop in ($10) or purchase a 5-visit punch card and receive the Zoom link. We meet online on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month from 7-8pm.

Board Game Night
Feb 27
Board Game Night

The last Friday of the month, 7-9 p.m., join us to relax and play some games! We'll have some on site, and you're welcome to bring your own. We'll usually start with some quick games, and then if people are up for it, we can do a longer game. (If folks are interested in a much longer game, we can schedule a separate time for that!) All are welcome, ages 14+.
