In a time where we are looking for guidance, distractions, and a bit of an escape, it seems appropriate to reach out to all of you in the form of our Newsletter. It’s also our way of checking in with you, making sure you and your loved ones are safe and healthy. And at the same time, we offer a look back at some of our recent activities and accomplishments.
So far this 2019-2020 season we have had some fun, some serious, some grand and some casual events. We hope these photos will remind you all what the American Club is all about. It’s all about French-American friendship in good times and in stressful times like these. What makes the club strong is all of you, our family.
So sit back, have a look, and don’t forget that while we might be temporarily closed down for activities, we remain here for you and will be “back in action” just as soon as it is safe.
