2019 BASTILLE DAY
Festivities
Bonjour à tous
Merci à tous ceux qui ont célébré la fête de la nationale. It was a wonderful day with fine food, music, sing-a-long, quiz and raffles. Thank you to the generosity of the following sponsors: Burrow Cafe; Le Comptoir Français; ParisiAnn Patisserie; Bunnings Warehouse; Wendland Fine Foods; Preston Peak Winery ; France at Home; and Archie Tait.
It takes much organising, but ultimately it is the "joie de vivre" which everyone brought to the event which made it so enjoyable. So thank you for your generosity! And thank you to the CUA Community Hub, Toowoomba for the use of their venue which was perfect for the event.
Next year, the AFT will be 60 years old. So please watch for details as we prepare for this extraordinary milestone.
Alexis Tacey, President
