Check out what we have to offer, and feel welcome to join us!

Friday Dinners 

 
International Student Fellowship Dinners are one of the ways we welcome international students. People from all over the world have come. It's hard to say what they like best: food, foosball or that feeling of family. We share food from all over, so come with adenturesome tastebuds.

Throughout the night you'll find ample time to get to know other students and Americans who are eager to get to know you. After dinner, there will be a game, and discussion time where you can choose a small conversation group to be a part of.

When: 2nd and 4th Fridays every month
from 6:30-10 p.m.
Where: At Jan and Dave Kolstad's home
8860 Shoshone Ave.
Northridge, CA 91325

If you need a ride or have a question,
send us an e-mail, or call 818-554-4511.

We want to make you feel welcome.
