From the President

 Your monthly dose of Alliance Française has just landed in your inbox, so I encourage you to spend some time reading and enjoying French culture. Speaking of French culture, a friend of ours recently mentioned that she was able to “hear” my French accent in my writing, so you may have to listen up carefully…!

We held our AGM on September 8, followed by the French film ‘En Guerre (At War)’, which certainly did not leave the audience indifferent. There was no difficulty with the AGM despite the notable decision of Robert McCombie who, after six years of service on the committee as President, decided to step down from that role. We all greatly appreciated the energy, continued presence and enthusiasm with which Rob helped to organise our Alliance and I certainly am counting on him to help me in my new task. Grand merci Robert.

Our next event is the Car Adventure Tour, followed by a picnic on October 23, Pétanque should soon have a new court, and your dedicated committee is working on the programming of different and interesting events. Stay tuned!
