Newsletter Semaine Quatre - Participez!

Bonjour les amis!

Tout d'abord, we would like to announce Participez! - where you are rewarded for your participation and interest in things French and in the society itself. Un étudiant et une étudiante will each win an exciting prize pack of French-related goodies (edible and otherwise) at the end of the semester. Get your name taken down at every FrenchSoc event you come along to - from conversation groups to film nights to Eurovision parties - and we'll keep a tally of your participation to see who has been the most involved in the society. On-campus weekday events are worth 1 point, off-campus and weekend events are worth 2 points. Those who have already come along to events, ne vous inquiétez pas, past events will also be counted in the tally, send us an email to confirm the events you've been to, just to be sure.

Deuxièmement, we would like to apologise to those who received our last email twice or with a massive chunk of email addresses in the TO field, it seems our attention to detail was also on holiday... nos excuses!

Troisièmement, this newsletter is being sent to this year's and last year's members, if you would no longer like to receive emails from the French Society please send us an email with "unsubscribe" as the subject. We will otherwise continue to send you information about French-related events on and off campus which you are always welcome to attend.
