MMN is the place to help new ASH families get settled and thrive in the Netherlands. Early in the school year, weekly gatherings provide practical information that newcomers need to make themselves at home in their host country, such as presentations on driving and biking, shopping, healthcare, and traveling. In the second semester, local field trips are planned, including visits to the tulip farm, community cheese farm, and the towns of Leiden and The Hague. MMN meets every Monday at 9 a.m. upstairs in the ABF building, unless otherwise indicated.
