It is the season of twinkling lights, elastic waistbands, and pretending the cookie tin is “for guests.”
As the days get shorter and the to-do lists get longer, we’ve planned a month of festive community moments, French flair, and a few
opportunities to hopefully learn something new.
Travel Update: Our Bordeaux Immersion Trip sold out in record time. But good news: we’re excited to announce an
all-inclusive sightseeing tour of Corsica this June!
Expect breathtaking landscapes, charming villages, turquoise waters, and plenty of island magic. More details HERE
Holiday
Potluck & Art Opening -
Dec. 7, 3-5:30pm
Kick off the season with good food, good friends, and new artwork from fellow members on our walls!
Bring a dish to share, meet the artists, and enjoy an evening where the art is inspiring and the casseroles are (hopefully)
labeled. And… big news! We are so very close to finalizing the purchase of our facility
property. If the timing aligns (fingers firmly crossed), this potluck might also double as a celebration of this milestone for our
community. There may be even more reason to toast!

Cook
With Florence - Dec.
16, 3-5pm
Join Chef Florence for an evening of distinctly French holiday flavors. Learn to prepare Tartelettes aux Oignons
Confits, Gratin Dauphinois and Green Beans à la Française. These
side dishes might just steal the show at your winter table (sorry, main course).
French
Winter Market - Dec.
19, 4-8pm
Held at our partner site, l’École, this pop-up market brings you French-inspired gifts, treats, and artisanal goodies
just in time for last-minute holiday shopping - and don’t forget to stop by our Alliance Française booth!
We hope to see you at one (or many!) of these events as we celebrate community, culture, and the end of another wonderful year together.
