Language Class Update

Update from Chris about Cherokee Language Classes:

 
Osiyo:

Maura is traveling and away from her computer for a few days, so she asked me to give you an update regarding upcoming Tsalagi languages classes. 

I hope I can relay the her message correctly:

Due to scheduling conflicts our Tsalagi language classes will not be held at KU Medical Center. Maura is gathering some information 

from our Lawrence Tsalagi group and as soon as she hears back from them she will be able to schedule our Tsalagi language classes for fall. 


Wado, 

Chris

August 6th Cherokee Language Class - From Maura Garcia

Osiyo nigadawu!

Dohitsu?  I hope the gogi (summer) has been treating you well.  I have recently arrived from several weeks in Tsalagi Uweti (NC) and am now back in Kansas.  As many of you all know, there is a new Cherokee community member group in Lawrence.  They also meet on taline iga (Tuesday).  Due to gogi (summer) and a desire to make sure that meetings do not overlap, I will just set the following meeting time and day until further notice:

Taline iga, Galoni sudaline (Tuesday, August 6th) at 6pm

We will meet at KU Medical center.  If you are able to come please email me and I will give you the location details.

Kila dodadagohvi! 

Wado,

Naisa
