Last night we joined 65 guests at the current French Ambassadors residence on Foxhall for an Alliance Francaise benefit supporting educational initiatives.
We snapped the French Ambassador Francois Delattre, who opened his speech in French (mais oui) flanked by chairs Marie Royce, Evelyn Di Bona, and Nina Pillsbury.
For the past decade, Alliance Francaise has given high-impact language courses to underserved children in DC. Last night they raised more money than ever, $75k. Here,Susan Rappaport with Lockheed director Nancy Schlegel and her husband, America Farm Bureaus Paul Schlegel.
