The Meetup Group
Voulez-vous français was founded in 2007 by two French people who decided to organize monthly parties where everybody would:

• Meet other people who want to practice their French
• Listen to French music
• Meet other French and international people
• Watch Amélie Poulain
• Make friends while having a party

Voulez-vous français a été fondé en 2007 par deux Français qui ont décidé d'organiser des soirées mensuelles où tout le monde pourra:

• Rencontrer d'autres personnes qui souhaitent pratiquer leur francais
• Ecouter de la musique francaise
• Rencontrer d'autres francais et internationaux
• Regarder Amélie Poulain
• Faire des connaissances tout en faisant la fête

Joining the meetup group
To be a member of this group you need to have a profile photo in which you are recognizable as yourself. This helps people recognize each other at meetups. This is required for all new members joining after May 2022. For all members of the group, please do not use AI generated photos and photos of other people. Also, please join the group with your actual name and in your personal capacity, not as a company or organization.

Member Profiles
Returning members please log in to your member profile on a computer. Look for the "Manage membership" drop down menu on the right - "Membership details, Group notifications..." Please update your information and tell us where you are currently based, which time periods on which days of the week you are likely to be able to attend events, and what kind of meetups you would like us to organize.

No-Flake, Zero No-show group
Group events often involve reservations at restaurants and hiring of venues. Organizers have to put in a lot of effort to set up the event. Members might change work schedules and travel far to meet other members. It is inconsiderate to the group and its members to sign up for in-person events and then send in a last-minute cancellation or do a no-show.

No-shows and flake outs undermine the relationship between organizers and members, and destroy the community spirit of meetups. The attendance record has a large role to play in deciding how we host future events, and in the extreme case, if we can even have events.
We should try to make our group a no-flake, zero no-show group. Let's make a commitment to respect each other, and support group events by showing up when we RSVP.
