The Alliance Française of Northwestern
Connecticut (AFNWCT) is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year and invites
the public to attend the following events and programs reflecting the theme:
"Come Celebrate the Rich Heritage of the French-Speaking
World." AFNWCT is an international, not-for-profit organization
dedicated to the promotion of the French language, culture, literature,
history, and music. “We have planned many events and lectures to be presented
in English,” explained club president Marcy Jackson. “This was done to
especially encourage non-fluent speakers and students of French to discover how
rich this culture is.”
The club also wishes to remind the public that AFNWCT teachers will
offer beginning French classes for adults at the Southbury Library, 100 Poverty
Road. Classes will run for five
consecutive Saturdays from noon to 1:30 p.m. Cost for the classes ranges from
$66 to $125, depending on the class size.
Private and semi-private instruction can also be arranged. For more information about joining a class,
call 203-262-8594 or email maclasse@sbcglobal.net.
Proceeds from the language instruction classes are used to reward student
achievement in the study of French.
For planning purposes, the public is requested to call 203.263.4096 or
write to afnwct@snet.net to register for
any of the above listed events. For more information about the club and

W3R Commemorative Stoneware
The
Alliance Française of Northwestern Connecticut (afnwct@snet.net)
offers for sale stoneware bowls to commemorate the 225th anniversary
of the 1781 Washington-Rochambeau March to Victory at Yorktown. A classic ;piece and
symbol of French-American friendship, they are a fine gift to offer history
buffs or French friends.
Produced by Boston Pot & Tile of
Woodbury, CT, the wide-rimmed bowls are stamped with motifs from the
Revolutionary War uniform buttons: one French and one
American. The French stamp was made from
a button actually found along the Connecticut route where the 22nd
Battalion of Soissonais is known to have encamped.
The bowls are non-porous and
food-dishwasher-safe though not recommended for use in microwave ovens. They
are 7” in diameter and 1 ½” high with holes in the foot through which a wire
can be inserted for hanging.
To purchase, send checks for $16 ($10 + $6 shipping) to the Alliance Française of Northwestern
Connecticut, Inc. P.O. Box 31 Woodbury, Connecticut 06798-0031. A maximum of two bowls per
shipment.
All proceeds from the sale of the
bowls will go to the promotion of the French language and culture and
French-American friendship.
