Haiti - What If Foundation

Founded in 2000, the What If? Foundation funds food and education programs for children in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The foundation was serving the Haitian population before the recent quake disaster and will continue to be there for the children of Port-au-Prince long after this crisis is over. Haiti still needs our help and the What If? Foundation could use your support. Give what you can. Visit whatiffoundation.org. Merci.

Summer vacation

Jim and I are thrilled to celebrate our wedding anniversary with a visit to France this summer. We will spend eight weeks en le hexagone. Our adventure will begin and end in Paris at Carole’s apartment in le dix-huitième arrondissement. In the meantime we will stroll boulevards, shop in open markets and visit friends in Tostat, Montrozie and Avignon.

It is hard to believe that in just a few short weeks another school year will come to a close. Have a wonderful time off and we’ll see you all in September!

A bientôt,

Connie
