We have always attracted a strong component of Continuing Education students. Meetings are held twice or four times a month, depending on the programs offered, and attendance varies from ten to thirty. Refreshments of French food are served. No one need be a French student to come to the Club. English is the language spoken at meetings and events so that all the community may feel comfortable about participating.
Films are sub-titled and speakers present in English.
The return home from these trips includes the special touch of home baked French pastries and some fruit. Dr. Constance Ecklund helped launch the Club and is its current advisor. We also had a talk by internationally known mezzo, Tob Malawista, whose subsequent concert at the Yale Art Gallery we attended. The Spring term again featured Chef Sevilla, this time with a very sophisticated program of French salads and dressings. We were honored to receive our third Cultural Award from the University.
