Potluck on
Dec.1st from 2 to 5 pm. It’s the perfect way to ease into the season, enjoy great food, and be among francophile friends. We’ll also be
unveiling our new exhibition, featuring not one, but two talented local artists: Kathleen Hall and Jen Coon. Double
the talent, double the fun, and - who knows - maybe you'll find the perfect holiday gift you have been looking for.
Another gift idea this season is a gift

your Alliance Française. You'll find options to gift a French class, membership, or just a $ amount that can be applied towards any
offering.
