El club de Espanol de Lake Forest College is an organization devoted to the promotion, enhancement of awareness and understanding of Spanish speaking countries and cultures. Our purpose was achieved by a series of club events, such as outings to a variety of Chicago's ethnic restaurants and Latin culture related activities, Spanish and Argentinian dinners, in which members prepared and enjoyed typical meals. Our all-campus activities included a Latin-American Music group and a Spanish Flamenco dancing troupe. We also organized a 'iPinata Fiesta with Mariachi music and typical drinks. Also, we had guest speakers who spoke about Costa Rica, Niacaragua and Peru. In addition, we held fund raisers for Hispanic AIDS victims lwith GLASSD, Latin-American Relief and a letter writing campaign to free prisoners of conscience. ln order to promote culture we participated in the International Fair held by lnternat. We also organized a fair during the Latin-American week. Our greatest efforts were aimed at the founding of the Maria Velez de Berliner Award, given to the best Spanish written essay entered in a contest. The LFC Gemian Club acts to ben- efit its members and the community to which it belongs. The cultural ex- periences are a means to enhance the education at LFC outside the class- room. This informal setting is enjoyed by all, for example, the annual Oktober- fest with the Umpa Band. Other activ- ities include viewing German films and dining at ethnic restaurants. Our faculty sponsor, Prof. Richard Fisher, with Club president Mary Jo Casaletto, are both thankful for the great spirit and enthusiasm of its members. Danke Schon!

Social Services is a com- munity outreach organiza- tion in which its members volunteer their time and services to local institutions. Some volunteers worked with physically and emotion- ally handicapped children at the Grove School in Lake Forest. Other members volunteered their time at the Westmoreland Nursing Home. Social Services also raised money which we donated to the Children's Community Conference - an organiza- tion which works to prevent drug abuse by children and young adults. We also co- sponsored a square dance in November with the Interfaith Center. Social Services I v. I . 'W -'tv-.w,f ws-N 'fb' A Nf - ix X, ,cf . : V. .

French Club The French Clubs goal is to give students an opportunity to use the French language outside of the classroom. For this reason. it sponsors all sorts of activities such as the French Table. French movies, French plays or just the opportunity to go to a French restaurant with friends and enjoy French cuisine - all the while speaking French with peers and professors. lts main goal is to promote the better understanding of the French culture and to give concrete appli- cation to what is learned in the classroom. The Breakfast Club The Breakfast Club was founded this semester in order to facilitate the education and knowledge of the Catholic tradition and the tradition of regular attendance at Catholic Mass Our name is derived from the idea that members of the club might meet one time every three to four weeks and attend mass with a big breakfast afterwards.
