What's Up In Lansing: The Greeks, The Trojans and The French

Hello this Monday!

On this day: The story of the Greeks entering Tory using a Trojan Horse is a famous story. It was on this day (traditionally) in 1184 BC, that the Greeks made their tricky move. Since, many movies have used this idea, often times to add a layer of comedy into the story.

Here in Lansing, come practice your French, or if you don't know French, come learn it while meeting new people.

The class is held at East Lansing Public Library, 950 Abbot Road, East Lansing. Call (517) 351-2420 for more information.
