General Events

Bordertown Cafe is a great source of conversation groups. You could look for flyers hanging up in the cafe or talk with someone who works there to find out when groups meet. The groups do not always meet at the exact same time, but here are some times you might find a group

Groups may have a required language level. You should check with the coordinator or group leader to determine whether the group is right for you.
