Introduction to SaddleBrooke Francophiles
You don't have to speak French or wear a beret to belong to the SaddleBrooke Francophiles. A Francophile is simply one who appreciates France and French culture. Beginning with a wine-and-cheese gathering of about 22 interested people in January, 2000, the group now has over 100 SaddleBrooke residents on its roster.
The Francophiles' purpose is to make new friends and enjoy ourselves through sharing information, ideas, and experiences (not to mention food and wine!) related to France. A planning committee meets the first Tuesday of every month to plan activities, e.g., a Beaujolais Nouveau Wine Tasting/Judging Celebration, "Le Chandeleur " Crepe Party, a Mardi Gras Party, an "April in Paris" celebration, Boules Matches and Picnics, Dinners a la Maison, viewing French films in homes and theatres, field trips to AZ wine country.
Dues are $20 per person, $40 per couple per calendar year. For information, contact Francophile chair, Pat Smith at 825-2409 or send a message to Pat Dawydowych (sbfrancophiles@gmail.com).
