Привет, русский клуб!
Как дела? Все хорошо, я надеюсь.
This week, as usual, we meet at the Inner Bean at 8pm. (Tomorrow)
We'll talk fairytales, and practice introductions and talking about yourself a little.
for instance:
"Очень приятно; Меня зовут Клара. Я американец. Я нравится читать, искусства, и писать фантастику. Я студент арт-терапии."
There may be some mistakes in there - I'm not perfect at this of course, but that says: "Pleased to meet you, my name is Clara. I'm American. I enjoy reading, art, and writing fiction. I'm an art therapy student."
Pretty basic ~ we'll go over and practice some different ways to introduce yourself and ask about others.
Also - FAIRYTALES! I'll bring some of my books and we can chat about fairytales, what things are particular to Russian fairytales, like certain phrases and themes, and unique characters~ what's your favorite?
Also - bake sale to help raise money for Maria's children! Abby has volunteered to bake lots of sweets~
Thrice also -officer positions vacant. Abby and I share the co-presidency, and tyler is the secretary-treasurer, but now that there has been a nice little outpouring of interest into Russian club, and we do still have some officer spots vacant - would anyone like to be a historian? The historian's duties are to update the blog along with both presidents with occasional news and things of cultural interest, as well as take photos and document the club's happenings and post those here on the blog as well.
If you're interested, just let us know at the next meeting.

Oh - I nearly forgot! Our
contribution to the time capsule in the CSI will be a short mission
statement of our goals as founding members of this club. I'd like us all
to sign it and include a pic with EVERYONE! Even if you don't make it
to meetings much and are mostly online-active, or if you just now signed
up with an interest, this is a growing club and already we've gotten to
a great start! I'll bring the mission statement page to tomorrow's
meeting and we can all sign it. If you can't make the meeting tomorrow,
just contact me - I'll have the paper in my office in the CSI so you can
come add your John Hancock.
See you all tomorrow!!!!!!!!!
До связи!
Клара
