As we ease our way into 2024, I am struck by how quickly the 2023-2024 season is passing. Just seems like yesterday that we were opening our new season with over 130 members and friends in the gardens of the Cercle Interallié looking forward to all that would come.

We have already seen four fascinating speakers capture our interests and fuel our curiosity, five fun Happy Hours where we have mixed and mingled, numerous museums and cultural venues, and private functions such as a wine tasting, a ceramics class and a bespoke jewelry soirée that was just divine. And not to mention celebrating the 120th Anniversary of the American Club of Paris with over 140 attendees. I continue to be so very proud of our accomplishments. We grow our membership each month and offer a rich calendar of events sure to interest our diverse member base.

Those events allow members to make valuable connections, whether they are professionals, artists, entrepreneurs, retirees or students. We open up a world of exclusive experiences and intellectual enrichment. The American Club of Paris is a community, it is where we can come together as like-minded individuals and share all that our two countries share. I have always said that joining the American Club is like coming home to family. We are always happy to see you.

In closing, I wish to welcome you to the American Club of Paris for another exciting season of events and the opportunity to see old friends as well as meeting new friends. I am confident they will become lifelong friends.

Most sincerely,

Christine Leonard

President
