The fall season has not yet reached us, at least by reading the current
outdoor temperatures , but the amount of activities and events going
on are somewhat more than we are able to absorb.
It is fantastic to see that so many people are engaged in arts and
cultural events. We do our share even though our team is small but our
rewards is into your participation and support.
Here are a few of ours for the coming weeks, and a few more that we
recommend.
We look forward to your feedback-Thank you
Bienvenue,

CERCLE DE LECTURE :
Le cercle de lecture se réunira le jeudi 16 octobre (et non pas le 23) au
Boulanger de Los Gatos pour discuter:
Le Grand Meaulnes d' Alain-Fournier, un grand classique de la littérature
française. Un film en a ete' tire'.
Le choix de ce roman est une manière de participer a notre façon aux
commémorations du centenaire du début de la Grande Guerre (1914), qui
ont lieu en France cette année.
Alain Fournier a écrit un seul livre. Il a été' tue' en 1914. Il avait 28 ans.
- Au mois de novembre, nous nous réunirons le 20, pour discuter Le
trottoir au soleil de Philippe Delerm (2011).
L'auteur :écrivain et essayiste Français, est ne' en 1950, de parents
instituteurs, Devenu professeur, il quitte son poste en 2007 pour se
consacrer entièrement a l'écriture.
Le livre : Une attitude face a la vie. L'écrivain est dans cet ete' indien ou il
n'y a plus de temps a perdre. Rester du cote' du soleil devient une lutte de
chaque instant. Il nous rappelle que la vie est faite d'instants pas forcement
spectaculaires, mais poétiques. Il raconte les moments de bonheur de la vie
quotidienne
Au mois de décembre, les membres se réuniront chez Bernadette. Ils
pourront lire un poème en Français de leur choix et dire pourquoi ils ont
aime' ce poème.

A summer afternoon at The Atrium.....
The Atrium, une maison de retraite a Sans José, offre un programme
mensuel qui célèbre les différents pays du monde. On a choisi la France
pour le mois de juillet. Bernadette Theisen, membre du conseil
d'administration de l'Alliance, a gracieusement accepté de faire une
présentation sur la culture française suivie par une dégustation de fromages
et de vin français. Laurie Kane, a long standing member, a fourni 6
fromages français, Marie-Claude Garrity, responsable des cours de
Campbell, a prêté une carte de la France et d'autres décorations, et the
Atrium a acheté 3 vins français. L'après-midi était un grand succès. Nous
étions toutes très bien reçues.
The Atrium, a retirement home in San Jose, offers a monthly program
celebrating different countries of the world. France was chosen for the
month of July. Bernadette Theisen, Board Member of the
Alliance, graciously accepted to do a presentation on French culture which
was followed by a wine and cheese tasting. Laurie Kane, long standing
Member, furnished 6 French cheeses, and Marie-Claude Garrity, Head of
the Campbell School, lent a map of France and other decorations. And the
Atrium purchased 3 French wines.
The afternoon was a great success and we were all very well received..
