Chicago – Mar 29 2017

CHERS AMIS

We’d like to extend our warmest invitation to a special free film screening on Wednesday, March 29 at 6:30 p.m. by the Alliance Française de Chicago. As part of their Festival de la Francophonie, Oscar-nominated Quebec director Yan England will introduce his film 1:54 which just won le Prix du Public at the Festival du Film Francophone de Rome. The film will also be shown at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on March 30.

High school has been hard for Tim, who goes out of his way to avoid provoking the local bullies. But when his only friend and crush Francis meets tragedy at their hands, Tim decides to take his own revenge. He joins the track team, gunning for the head bully in the 800-meter dash – but will things go as planned? A dark drama that looks at sports, adolescent angst and the cruelty of bullying…

In French with English subtitles, followed by a Q & A with film director and reception. REGISTER, please click HERE.

We hope you will be able to spread the word and join the Alliance Française de Chicago for this amazing opportunity and celebrate the last event of the Festival de la Francophonie with their partners from Canada and Quebec in Chicago!

A bientôt!

Let’s get together on Thursday, April 13th for spring party.

We can also honor our friend , EuroCircle Denver member Paweł Abramczyk who died tragically on March 19th.
A many of you know,Pawel was last seen at about 9:30 a.m. Saturday at the top of The Loft. He was attempting to summit Longs Peak with two acquaintances when he decided to descend and return to the trailhead, according to park officials. When the other two men arrived back at the trailhead later on Sunday, his vehicle was still in a parking lot.
The men contacted park rangers at about 6:15 p.m. Saturday to report Pawel overdue. His body was recovered at about 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
Our hearts are with Pawel’s family in this time of sorrow.

You may recall we featured Chantal and Tako soon after they arrived here. Tako was a senior economist specialized in anti trust. With the wish he had for years to once come to the States to experience life here, he entered the Green Card Lottery. As a miracle – and a chance of once in 200 years – he actually won this thing! And the Stroop Club started from there….their first break was with Bouldin Creek Cafe.

Join the Stroop Club & EuroCircle at their first ‘official’ Dutch Party in Austin!

Our hosts Katerina Aman, Chantal & Tako from the Stroop Club and the EuroCircle team (Kaisa & Adnan) will introduce everyone around.

Find out HOW DUTCH ARE YOU? – the event attendees who take the quiz will be partipate in a raffle …you must be at the event to get your prize by the Stroop Club!

Missed your bitterballen?
Missed The Netherlands or wanna learn about Holland and mingle with the Austin Dutchies?
With stroopwafels, bitterballen and hopefully even herring. Gezellig!
– BYOB
– No cover
– European food available, bitterballen, kaas soufles, saucijzenbroodjes and stroopwafels!

“Stroopwafels are a light, addictive Dutch cookie comprised of creamy stroop, which is a caramel-like syrup, sandwiched between two crispy thin waffles. Think vanilla, butter, cinnamon, crunchy, gooey, soft all together in one delightful syrup waffle (preferably melting over a hot beverage). In Holland, stroopwafels are a normal part of coffee or tea time, and people often have bags of them at their office desks. Street vendors sell larger format stroopwafels in Holland, served as a snack or a treat, sometimes with chocolate.”   * The above is a direct quote from http://austin.eater.com/2016/11/3/13510520/stroop-club-stroopwafel-dutch-waffles-austin
