Fredericksburg-Este Conversational Italian Get-Togethers

In July, the Fredericksburg-Este Association organized conversational Italian get-togethers to help beginners learn the language and allow others to improve their knowledge of Italian. A good time was enjoyed by all as they enjoyed good company and delicious Italian food and wine.

Vuoi parlare italiano? There are two opportunities: dinner (to accommodate those who work during the day) or lunch. The dinners will be held on the second Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. and the lunches on the third Thursday of the month at noon. Everyone is welcome, no matter how much or little they may speak Italian.

For more information, please contact Jackie Boice at jacklynboice@gmail.com or (540) 891-2814.
