Chers ami(e)s, Je pense que cela serait bien de mettre en place un abonnement annuel au Meetup: 36 dollars pour 12 mois de Meetup par personne à partir d'avril 2025. Comme ça, je pourrai continuer à utiliser le site Meetup pour nos rencontres mensuelles. Pour ceux qui ne viennent que quelques fois par an, je les ferai payer 3 dollars à chaque fois. Je vous demanderai lors de notre prochaine rencontre de me payer en espèce ou par transfert interac à angeliquefirouzi@yahoo.com, la somme de 36 dollars. Merci Angélique Dear friends, I think it would be a good idea to put in place a yearly subscription to our Meetup: 36 dollars for 12 months of Meetup starting this month of April 2025. Like this I will be able to use the Meetup website for our monthly meetings. For those who come once in a while, I will make them pay 3 dollars each time. I will ask you at our next meeting to pay me 36 dollars in cash or by Interac transfer to angeliquefirouzi@yahoo.com. Thank you, Angélique Hi All, Are you looking to speak and excel in your French? The French Meetup with Angélique meets all your expectations. Join us the third Wednesday of every month at 5 pm.

There is a 3 dollar fee per person for each meetup to cover the annual fee of the meetup.com website. There is also a requirement to consume a minimum of 1 item per person. Looking forward to meeting you. Angélique Bonjour à toutes et à tous, Vous voulez parler ou pratiquer votre français? Le French Meetup avec Angélique vous donne cette occasion de discuter en français et socialiser dans une bonne ambiance amicale, amusante et instructive, tous les troisième mercredis du mois à 17h.
