As you walk down the hallway, have you ever heard international students talking in Chinese? Do you want to know what they are talking about? Americans like to get tattoos with Chinese characters but do you know what they mean? Chinese is gradually becoming more and more important in the world. In this globalized 21st century, you should learn some Chinese because one-sixth of the world's population speaks Chinese.  Now's your chance!  Join the "Triple C" (Chinese Culture Club). You'll not only learn to speak Chinese but also to write calligraphy and share our culture with you. Our first meeting will be on Tuesday, October 21st at 2:45 Ms. Diaz's room 29E in the Seminary building. Come join us, it will be a lot of fun!

 

Don't Forget! The Ping pong Club is meeting every Thursday in the cafeteria from 2:45 to 4:00. Come join the fun.
