Chers
Amis
Here
we are in June already and more and more we find ourselves staying indoors and
rugging up to protect ourselves from winter’s cold fingers. Many of our members
will soon be packing bags for their annual pilgrimage northwards for the
European summer and Le Tour de France. But for those who are staying we have
lots of upcoming events like the wine tasting at Mike and Lilias’ place and our
extra special celebration of Bastille Day this year in which we are celebrating
the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of our Alliance.
Details
of these events are provided later in this newsletter. Book early so you don’t
miss out.
I
would also like to formally welcome the Eden Marine High School as a new member
of our Alliance. This school now joins the South Coast Anglican College and the
Mumbulla school as members of the Alliance Francaise de la Cote de Saphir. My
own first contact with the Alliance Francaise was through the school I attended
as a boy in Sydney and I am confident that this early connection with the
Alliance played a part in my long-standing love of French language and French
culture.
Amities
