On Friday morning, many members attended our usual Quiz (42 people), in a friendly atmosphere…as usual, after a cup of tea or coffee and cakes…
The room is going to be too small …
The Organising Committe had nicely decorated the room and prepared delicious appetizers, and the “Poulet Basquaise” was excellent.
There were also various games, lottery and songs, merrily entertaining the participants…

On March 7th, we had a “green” dinner to celebrate Saint Patrick (the room was not available on the right day!!!;..), so everyone had to wear something green, and we had the choice between Irish Stew and Beef with beer. The room was very well decorated, we had a welcome drink with various and very good appetizers, all the dishes were delicious, and the evening finished with songs, as usual… in a friendly atmosphere…
Many thanks to all the organizers and their helpers !…

After a speech by our President, Mike McClenahan, our Vice-President Marie Habert reminded us of all the events, then Our Treasurer Jean-Joseph Dombrowski presented his financial report. This report shows a deficite for the year 2023, due to an increase in the cost of our end of the year lunch, but everything is all right. Après un discours de notre Président, Mike McClenahan, notre Vice-Présidente, Marie Habert, fit un résumé de nos différentes activités intervenues en 2023. Ensuite, ce fut le tour de notre Trésorier Jean-Joseph Dombrowski, de présenter son rapport financier. Il y a un déficit cette année, car il y a eu une forte augmentation du coût du repas de fin d’année, mais malgré tout, les finances de l’Association restent saines.
