French Discussion and Conversation Groups:

We need your help!
It takes a lot of work to organize and set up the room, contact speakers and publicize our programs and activities. We’d appreciate volunteers to assist in any way on any of these events. On another note, we’ve had requests from several members wishing us to organize some informal get-togethers in local restaurants. Please contact me if you’re interested in helping out.
We thank you for your support of our mission to promote the French language and cultures of the many Francophone countries of the world. We currently have over 145 members and would welcome many, many more.
Please let me know if there is anything we can do better to enhance your AFNWCT experience.
Meilleurs Vœux!
