¡Hola!

Te invitamos a visitar la Galería Nacional de Arte. Esta es una gran oportunidad para poner en práctica el español en un ambiente divertido entre amigos.

Tendremos un guía a nuestra disposición, el cual nos mostrará las obras más importantes que se encuentran en el edificio del oeste (West Building). ¡Todo será en español!

Si te gusta el arte, charlar en español y compartir con buenos amigos, estoy segura que la pasaremos muy bien.

¡ Te espero!

Evelyn

FEES:

Payment in advance: The group realized that it's very difficult, if not sometimes impossible, to plan an event if members don't commit. So the members of the group decided to charge for the meetings in advance. This way a person that can not attend won't take a place of somebody who really wants to participate.

Why? When we charge more than $ 0.50 for an event it's because we are hiring a professional native speaker to be in charge of the meeting. There is never, ever, a profit for the organizer!

How to pay: You can submit payment via Paypal or by calling 301-530-1200 (Evelyn) and pay with your credit card.


I don't have a Paypal account. Can I pay by Paypal anyway?: YES, you can! Click on the Paypal botton and pay with your credit card.

How much: Paying on site: $5. Paying by Paypal: $3

How to RSVP: Please mark your reservation here as YES only if you have already paid for the event. If you don't pay in advance, you might get a space at the meeting, but we can not assure that. We reserve the right to delete any reservation of a member who did not pay in advance.

Refund: If you ask the organizer of the meetup by email for a refund up to 8 days before the meeting, you'll get a full refund.
Since we must plan in advance, 7 days before the meeting or less no refunds are possible, regardless of attendance or not. NO EXCEPTIONS! ¡Muchas gracias!

Same day of the event Paypal payment not valid: Please don't pay by Paypal the same day of the event, since that payment won't be valid.

Thank you for your understanding. Think that organizing and planning is not an easy matter. We need your support to help us continue with this great activity. Muchas gracias! smile

    Sarah: leo que estas decepcionada porque creias que ibamos a tener una guia nativa. Interpretaste mal la definicion del encuentro, porque nunca se dijo que iba a ser con guia nativa. Tu expectativa fue erronea. Lo que si tuvimos, es dos personas nativas que fuimos explicitamente para compartir. Estoy de acuerdo que la guia fue aburrida, pero eso no es culpa nuestra. Lamentablemente no te quedaste a la segunda parte del encuentro, de 4 a 5pm, donde charlamos mucho y nos divertimos.
