Refreshments now available at Edelweiss Club events!

Good news! I am now able to serve refreshments at the Edelweiss Club. One more reason to come down to the Club for Flimmerkiste, German Games Night or Fußballfreunde!

Deutschfreunde für September: German Games Night, Fußballfreunde, Flimmerkiste

This message is to advise you of the activities I'll be hosting at the German Canadian Cultural Association-Edelweiss Club (108 Niagara Street in James Bay) during the month of September.

German will indeed be spoken, great for anyone who'd like to improve or keep up their German, or just to make new friends through the German language.
