Alliance Francaise of Providence
The ship Hermione is now sailing through the Atlantic and will be in Newport, RI on July 8th and July 9th. A number of events will be organized during those 2 days. The Alliance Francaise of Providence is part of that effort. One of the main events will be a luncheon on Wednesday July 8th from 11:00 to 3:00 at the Ocean Cliff resort. The place overlooks the entrance to Newport Harbor so the ship will be seen when it enters the bay at 2:00 pm. The luncheon will be a sit down buffet style. There will be music and a number of dignitaries are expected for that occasion. The individual price of the tickets is $45.00, drinks are cash bar. Tables of 10 can be purchased for $500.00. The place is simply gorgeous and the event should be extremely pleasant overall. Please let me know if you have any interest. You can also call me at 401-440-5797.
