Introduction

I like Middle Eastern languages, food, and music.

Do you speak Arabic? If so, what dialect(s). Do you know Modern Standard Arabic (FuSHa?) Can you read, write or speak FuSHa? Your answers will help us better offer suitable language workshops for the club.

I am slowly relearning fuSHa, which I studied many years ago.

Have you visited the Middle East, &, if so, where & in what capacity? For that matter, where have you traveled outside the US? Do you speak any other languages besides English & Arabic? No, this info won't be shared with the FBI !

I've never been to the Middle East, but I've visited Mexico and Europe and lived briefly in Taiwan.

How did you find this group and, now that you're here, what do you want from it? For example, do you prefer Middle Eastern Music events, Dinner Parties, Language Workshops, Live Theatre, or just getting together to meet new people and have fun?

I found the group through a Google search.

Do you have any experience working with Non-Profits? I ask because I'm considering establishing the club as a Non-Profit in the near future.

No experience with non-profits.

What is your current job/profession/field? What is your dream job?

Computer programmer. My dream job would be to be a stone age hunter, but history has downsized that industry considerably.
