This group is for those who enjoy the foods, languages, activities, the arts, etc. of Asian cultures! This group is for people of all ethnic backgrounds!

My family left Europe from,starvation,joblessness,high taxes,low opportunities/no opportunities in the 1870's.

I fully anticipate meetings evolving into wine hangovers and grossly inadequate French conversation. Maybe we can get a speaker to give a lecture on French Cuisine, or we can spend a meeting watching a French movie. Generally t …
