From the Matthews, USA/Sainte-Maxime, France Sister Cities club, the French Conversationalists would like to invite you to join us at our new location for our French Conversation meetings, on the second Thursday of every month, at the Matthews Community Center! There is no need to sign up, and please feel free to bring someone who may not be on this email list. We welcome you all! We will meet from 7 - 8 p.m., and we encourage you to come even if your French has been relegated to a distant memory of your High School years! We will meet in Studio B, which is on the lower level. Once you enter into the Matthews Community Center, take a left at the front desk, and it will be the first room on the right. The front desk staff will help direct those wishing to join us to the room on Thursday evenings. We also encourage current Middle and High schoolers who are learning French to join us, along with their teachers. Looking forward to seeing you!
