French Conversation Group to meet

The kickoff event is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, March 24, at the library. This will be an opportunity for anyone who is interested in attending the group to meet one another, begin utilizing their language skills and discuss what they would like to do during the meetings.
There will be small group conversations as well as a presentation by Jacynthe Jacques, Cecile Thornton and Winston Antoine of the Franco Center to begin the event. Light refreshments will be served.
