English Speaking club

The meeting was dedicated to American holiday Labor Day (September 6, 2010).
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
The club-members listened to the audio-record  Labor Day from the CD American Holiday.
(Klebanow, Barbara. American Holidays / Barbara Klebanow. - Brattleboro, Vermont : Prolingua Associates, 2005. - 174 p. + CD).
 
Our guest Joseph Battilega agreed that Americans celebrate this holiday, but nowdays it’s not so popular.








Ukrainians told him about Ukrainian holiday of May 1st – the day of peace and labor.
The members of discussion club discussed such questions:
-        Connection between education and job, which you’ll find after graduation from University;
-        Discriminations and methods of struggle against it.

Joseph Battilega presented 17 books to WOA because he sawed that Ukrainians like to read very much.
