Amherst Esperanto in the Collegian

A very nice article about us appeared today in the UMass student newspaper. Kudos to Andrea Murray for such a nice article!

The Lost Ring

There is a new Alternate Reality Game, The Lost Ring that is using Esperanto as one of its puzzles. People are finding chapters of a secret codex that has the key to saving the worlds! They need to be found and decoded. It was something to do with a lost Olympic sport. At our Tuesday evening meetings (5:30pm in the Blue Wall) we're translating the chapters from the secret codex. Join us and help save the worlds!
