A French Connection
Alright OC francophiles and francophones….
Due to the incredible success of our Bastille on Bishop event last year, we’ve embarked on a larger initiative and are working closely with the Alliance Francaise of Dallas to begin pursuing more French offerings in the area. With that in mind, you’re invited to come and tell us how you would like to practice your French or what all good “French” stuff you would like to see happening in our neighborhood this year. In return, you will be fed (Pierrette Lacour’s homemade potage), bread, cheese and wine!…and we will “tirer les Rois!!” (eat some King cake )…and learn about the BIG project (still incubating) of a DIJON/Oak Cliff Exchange…Let’s bring our “Joie de Vivre” to Dallas and Oak Cliff!
Venez nombreux!!
A très bientôt!

Jason, is this tonight?
This Friday, January 7th.
Jason,
I am a French professor at UTA (http://www.uta.edu/ra/real/editprofile.php?pid=4920&onlyview=1) living on N. Bishop and will be coming to this meeting. I’d love to do whatever possible to contribute to this effort and look forward to discussing French in the OC with you.
À vendredi!
Christopher
Great! Looking forward to seeing you there.
I’d love to discuss how artsy craftsy locals like me can get involved and help plan. Count me in, even though I speak Spanish and Italian, mais un peu de francais. Or something blah blah. I guess I need to take a class!
Hi Jason,
Best of luck with plans for 2011! As a former OC-ite now living in Boston, I at least want to be able to buy a poster if I can’t make it down. Please don’t forget the marketing angle of this effort: you can do a signed, limited run poster for sale/fundraising, plus a larger run at a cheaer price “go wide” and promote the event,a nd also make sales. Postcards are also great communications vehicles and make great counter top/checkout take aways. It ain’lt all Facebook and Twitter :>)
Best wishes,
Jay
