We’ve got a new regular meeting time and place:
Thursdays at 5:15 PM in the Foreign Language building. We’ll gather in the atrium on the ground floor, then pick a free classroom when we’re ready to start.
Come today and every week!
This semester’s first meeting of the Esperanto club will be TODAY, Thursday September 3rd, at 5:15 PM in room 323 of the Natural History Building (the second building east of the student union–Harker Hall is in between).
For interested people who can’t get there at 5:15 PM, a couple of us will show up at 4:15 PM to answer questions.
Please join us for the meeting if you can, or show up for the pre-meeting if that works better. There will be snacks!
Our main goals are to:
Answer any questions people have about Esperanto,
Talk about plans for the club this semester,
Find out if this meeting time and place will work going forward.
Thanks to Darcy, we’ll have a table at Quad Day: August 23 from noon to 4 PM. Come! Help!
Until then we won’t be having our regular meetings. We’ll start back up after the first day of instruction.
Information (in Esperanto) from Viktor Payuk on the Esperanto Society of Chicago’s picnic:
Bedaǔrinde ni malsukcesis organizi la ĉi jaran piknikon junie, sed ne perdu la esperon – la 26an de Julio ĉiuj dezirantoj estas invitataj partopreni nian tradician aranĝon en Shiller Forest Preserve (arbara rezervejo de Ŝilera Parko) ¼ m. okcidenten de la stratkruco inter Camberland kaj Irving Park. Vidu la mapon. Proponata tempo: de tagmezo – ĝis la 4a pt. Prenu manĝaĵon kaj trinkaĵon laŭ via plaĉo. Rostigilo funkcios. 1-2 aŭtoj estos pretaj veturigi gesamideanojn je 11.45 de la CTA haltejo Camberland (blua linio). Por ĉi servo telefonu 773-344-2276 aŭ sendu ret-mesaĝon al Viktoro araneoesp@yahoo.co.uk. Ĝis la!
Sorry, this entry is only available in Esperanto.
We’ve started planning activities for the fall. Here are a few ideas:
Other ideas?
The topic of the next (July 2nd) meeting will be a discussion of the short story “Marvirinstrato” by Tim Westover, the title story of his new short story collection.
You can download the book for free, so even people who haven’t bought a copy can participate.
If any beginners want to participate, we can get together in advance to read it as a group. Express interest either to the Esperanto_Champaign list or to info@ekoci.org.
Note the new day, time, and place for meetings Thursdays at the Espresso Royal across from the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts (1117 W Oregon St, Urbana) at 4:00 PM.
Our regular meeting will take place at the usual time and place ( 5:00 PM at the Foreign Language building).
Come! We’ll discuss the just-ended annual convention of Esperanto-USA.
Because of the end of the school year, and because of the Esperanto jarkunveno, we won’t meet next week. Instead, join us at the jarkunveno itself!
We still need to decide whether we’re going to try to meet over the summer. Check here for updates.
