French Club’s End of Year Party

Chers amis du Cercle Français,

Please join us this Wednesday, May 2, at 11:30 AM until 1:30 PM in STV 113 for our final French Club gathering of the year.

We decided to combine our end of the year party with our department’s party, since the winners of our two French study-abroad scholarships will be announced at noon that day: The Petrossian-Tarrant Scholarship Award and the Scholarship for French Study Abroad Endowment Fund Award.

Cake, cookies, and punch will be served.

We’ll be meeting on the Quad in front of Williams Hall at 3:30 and continue until 5:00, weather permitting. Feel free to stop by at any time during those 90 minutes. No previous experience needed. In case of bad weather, check the door of STV 113 for messages.
