Paris in Tears!
The Directors of the Alliance Francaise de Fresno would like to thank Alliance members and the community for their participation and support in two events in response to last month's terrorist attacks in Paris. One minute of silence was observed in remembrance of those who senselessly lost their lives. In addition, an evening gathering was organized to review recent world events involving terrorism. Both events were well-attended and resulted in a high level of discussion. Fresno Alliance members have been sought out by local TV, radio, and print media for information and personal connections to recent tragic events.
