Welcome to the Syracuse Branch of the English-Speaking Union. Our group was established in 1948. We meet monthly, September through May. The Programs are varied and illuminating, ranging from local agencies that provide community engagement, to local history, and the Arts.<\/span><\/h3>\n


\n<\/span>The Syracuse Branch participates in the National Shakespeare Competition, with both private and public schools being involved. We look forward to contributing to Happy Hour.<\/span><\/h3>\n <\/div>\n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n
