MONTHLY GET TOGETHER Special Back
to Business - 6th Sept. |
|
|
|
The first get together of the year
was a lively and busy event at the Blue Bar, with a few new faces in
the French business community, and a lot of faithful active members.
It was also the occasion to bid farewell to one of our active
members, Valentine Bureau, from the Grand Hyatt, who is relocating
to Munich, Germany, in a couple of weeks. Valentine has been an
invaluable member of the Publication committee and contributed to
launch FBC Mag. She was presented with a smail gift as a token of
our appreciation.
Valentine, thank you for your contribution and all the best in your
future endeavour!
