Last year they put on a Mardi Gras party that was campus wide and an Oxfam Hunger awareness banquet. This year, the club plans to bring back a French conversations and games table, which is open to all students.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The ability to speak French is not required, though these activities are geared toward students learning French. The club also presents films in French with English subtitles to help people connect and understand other cultures better. The movies occur monthly and are also open to whoever wants to attend. If that is not enough incentive, the club offers free food at the movies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">For more information about French Club or the French films, contact Mallory Stahl at mallory.stahl8217@mb.rctc.edu.<\/p>\n<h2>You don\u2019t have to be fluent to enjoy French Club activities<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Attend a French Film event and enjoy free food along with a taste of French culture.
