Scarsdale French Club Celebrating 90th Anniversary With Gala

French Club is turning 90. The club is celebrating its 90th anniversary and current students are inviting all club members past and present to attend a special gala on April 14.

The event, being held from 6:30 p.m. to 10: 30 p.m. in the high school cafeteria, will feature Hors d’oeuvres, dinner, dessert, live entertainment, a silent auction and photos and videos of club members from 1981-2012.

The cost is $50 per couple; $30 per person; and $15 per student.

Below is the formal announcement from Scarsdale High School's French Club:

Chers étudiants et anciens membres du Cercle Français,

Salut tout le monde! 

This school year marks the 90th anniversary of the Scarsdale High School French Club, making it one of the longest-running clubs in the history of SHS. You have all been a part of this special history as students of French and especially as members of le Cercle Français.  Perhaps you played a role in one of our great videos, ground-breaking technology for its time! Or did you write an article or a poem for our newspaper Papier Mâché? Do you remember flipping crêpes or donning funny costumes during our Mardi Gras relay races? Or how about preparing one of the recipes in our cookbook "Bon Appétit" or attending the traditional autumn festival dinner?  Did you work on our series of calendars or participate in the International Fair as models of French haute couture or dancers of the can-can? How many crêpes au Nutella did you serve to hungry students?

Or did you simply enjoy the beauty of the French language and the culture of France?

For some of you, more than 30 years have sped by since we last saw each other; for others, only a few. On April 14, we will have the chance to reconnect and to share the memories. You will also have the opportunity to meet the current officers and members while enjoying a delicious dinner of, bien sûr, crêpes!

Attached are the invitation and the response page. Please join us.  It's been too long.
