June Newsletter
June arrives like a deep breath at the start of summer; the days stretch lazily into the evening, inviting us to slow down and soak in the
golden hours - however wet they may be right now. As we reach the halfway point of the year (yes, already!), we hope our upcoming events
offer just the right mix of inspiration, connection, and a few sparks of joy to help you make the most of this season.
If you live in the Wilmington area, or find yourself vacationing nearby, be sure to join us for our regular monthly
gatherings! Ciné
& Dîner,
every third Thursday, pairs great films with good food and even better conversation. And on the first Thursday of each month, Apéro offers
a relaxed, convivial way to toast the week with friends old and new. Big thanks to our volunteers in Wilmington - Virginia
Bateman, Vanessa de Froidcourt, Christopher Pilloton and William Price - for
helping us bring French language events to the coast!
Congratulations to Lucas de Paula and Sharon Flesher, who placed 1st and 2nd respectively in the local round of Le Défi InterAlliances 2025 contest! They both won a free French course and proudly represented North Carolina at the national level. The national winner, from AF Dallas, will go on to represent North America in France this July.
June also brings with it the promise of a well-deserved break - and the Alliance is no exception. While some of us are heading off for a
French immersion week at the Alliance Française of Vichy, our office will be closed from June 15 through 25. But
not to worry - we’ll be back to celebrate a slightly belated Fête
de la Musique on June
29. Come
join us for a joyful French
Singalong and Potluck! Bring
your voice, your appetite, and your instrument if you have one, and let’s welcome summer with music, great food, and community!
