Michelle Wing, Italian instructor at UMW, will present a program on Italian fairy tales. We will offer small bites and wine prior to the program so that members and guests have time to mingle and chat before the program begins at 7 p.m.

A presto!
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.
