In an effort to obtain this goal, El Circulo involved itself in various activities. El Circulo hosts guests at their monthly meeting who speak on various aspects of Hispanic art, music, history, politics, cuisine, etc. Guests have included a state archivist, a bullfighter from Spain, an ambassador from Costa Rica, and an ambassadress from Venezuela. El Circulo promotes Hispanic Heritage Week each September by serving samples of Hispanic-type food to students and staff, by hosting a Learning Luncheon at CSM, and by sponsoring a variety of other activities throughout the week. The members are also involved with Spanish-language masses in Charles County.
Membership is open to any person interested in the Spanish language and culture.
