SUMMARY:Cafe C --- Presentation at Main Public Library
DESCRIPTION:Bonne Année tout le monde !\nCome to our first Café Conversation of 2024 on Saturday\, January 27\, 3 PM at Alachua County Library Headquarters\, 401 E University Ave\, Meeting Room B. We welcome especially UF grad students interested in Francophone and Francophile community! Easy parking\, but attention: the library closes at 5. \nPast VP Haydée Britton will update us about her 25 children in Kinshasa\, DRC. Her non-profit Les Petits Okapis has been a personal passion for decades and is now led by the adults she saved from the streets and supported from primary school through college.  Come enjoy pictures from her July visit with them. She will have Congolese handicrafts for sale to benefit her group (cash or checks appreciated\, and Haydee’s website\, okapis.org\, takes charitable contributions.) Following Café C\, the “convo” can continue at a downtown restaurant. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFebruary 12 is the week that our Spring Sesion begins.

Thank you to all who came! A special Merci ! to the dozen hard-working volunteers who shopped\, cooked\, set-up\, served\, spoke & sang between courses\, and cleaned up that night and the next day. Everyone’s participation made the event inoubliable ! We said farewell to Chef Jacques and Pamela\, now in Japan\, but thanks to their inspiration\, conversations are already bubbling about more feasts in the future. \nHere’s to another fun and educational year together! \nCordialement\,\nElizabeth et le comité directeur\npresident@afgainesville.com\nafgainesville.com
