Welcome Back To International Friends

Hello, Friends. 

Labor Day ends the summer and all vacation recreation and kicks off the fall season in the United States. We celebrate with parades, bar-be-cues, pool closing parties, and outdoor fun. Enjoy this weekend!

Our Kid's Conversation group is hanging in there to the bitter end. Our last class is September 2.

INTERNATIONAL FRIENDS MEETINGS BEGIN SEPTEMBER 5-9 ON ZOOM

We are closing out the school year. New Zoom links are being created. We are continuing on Zoom so we can continue to meet with our Friends who may not live close enough to get together in person.

You will need to enter a valid phone number to receive a confirmation text to assure you are a real person.

Use the text field for "Parents" to type in your information if it does not fit in the provided fields. Don't worry if you are not signing up for the Kid's Conversation. 

Please email me if you run into any problems so we can solve them! We hope to meet you!
