On Friday evening, Marie had organised a Wine Tasting evening with Dominique Parmentier as the teacher.
He taught us a lot of things, we had to taste several wines, with some food.
We spent a very interesting and cheerful evening !… Many thanks to the organisers!!!
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.

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.
It has been decided to increase the annual subscription and to pass it to 17€ per person. Il a été décidé d’augmenter la cotisation annuelle et de la passer à 17€ par personne.
