Next Tech Support Session!
Wednesday, April 5

WICE Member Benefit!    An excellent reason to join WICE!
Your tech questions answered--for free!   

You can get help from the friendly and knowledgeable WICE TECH TEAM:  Jonathan Weiland, Mike Franks, Dania Lawand, and Richard Perlman. The goal of the Tech Talks is to ensure members have the ability to fully participate in WICE and other online activities. 

Next Tech Support session, on Zoom: 
Wednesday, 5 April 18h – 19h

Each Tech Talk is divided in two parts:
  1. First, the Tech team will address questions related to participating in online events and activities. Priority will be given to questions submitted in advance. Email your questions/problems to techquestions@wice-paris.org.  
  2. The second part will consist of a discussion on computer and internet topics of general interest, not necessarily related to WICE activities.
We will hold these hour-long informal sessions once a month, generally on the first Wednesday of the month.
Tech Talk is free but you must register to participate. REGISTER HERE or send an email to techquestions@wice-paris.org to receive the Zoom link.

Send your questions to techquestions@wice-paris.org.

 WICE Language Courses
WICE WINTER-SPRING WALKS   
The WICE series of leisurely walks will introduce you to famous names and fabulous buildings, social history and local legends, high culture and juicy scandal. Pick just one or take them all.

Instructor Deborah Hunter, from Edinburgh, Scotland, has a background in museums and culture, and enjoys exploring unexpected sights in familiar places.
 
In the Luxembourg Gardens, a popular tourist site, we will focus on some of the extraordinary women of the neighborhood: the former queen who created the gardens, the pioneering female scientist who lived there, and the cross-dressing revolutionary writer who worked there. In contrast, it was also a site of horror.
Sunday, March 19, 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM   To register, visit here
 
Discover people & places in the Paris area
historically known for woodworking
