Our group is the focal point for Argentineans, their families and friends, living in or passing through the North Central Texas area of the U.S. This is a non-profit, community group, whose only goal is to offer the opportunity to socialize and maintain our traditions alive. We make it a point to avoid taking any posture based on religion, political beliefs, national origin, etc. Our only goal is to pursue social and cultural activities for the enjoyment of everyone. We have a significant number of recent arrivals, but most of the members of our association are now American citizens, having lived in the U.S. for as long as 40 years and more.
If you are an American (or any other nationality, for that matter) who has lived in or traveled to Argentina, or have an interest in things Argentinean, come to one of our meetings and relive some of your experiences. We're rather social creatures, and you will be cordially welcome. You need not be or become a member of our group.
The First Friday of Each Month... we get together and have dinner (empanadas and other foods typical of the country) at a local restaurant or, lately, the Holiday Inn Express in Addison. Soft drinks, wine and beer available. Everyone (member or not, resident or visitor) is cordially invited. After dinner we show an Argentinean movie, and in the past we've also played cards, listen to music, exchanged recipes, etc. From 7:30PM until Midnight.
The highlights of our meetings are a picnic celebrating the anniversary of the revolution of May 25, 1810, a formal dinner and dance celebrating the independence of Argentina on July 9, 1816, and the Christmas Party.
The "Book Club" is a literary gathering that usually takes place between April and November. We have a very active folk dance group that not only appears at our parties but also disseminates the culture of Argentina at social events of other organizations. And last but not least, the Pedro Paez Theater Group has been presenting the work of Argentinean authors since 1997. The last presentation took place in 2010.
