An energetic group of students and teachers meet every Tuesday night at 7:00 at the Palisades Park Library for language instruction and conversations about topics of mutual interest. A recent class explored issues of pollution of the environment, and discussed possible solutions. All agreed that walking is better for the environment than driving a car! Teacher Norm Smith shared photos from a recent trip to Germany showing how large wind farms are reducing the need for fossil fuel in that country.

The semester will close with a holiday celebration on December 17, with everyone contributing to the party. At Thanksgiving, Norma’s pan de maize was a big hit!
