SUMMARY:CSF NEWSLETTER: SEPTEMBER 2023
DESCRIPTION:Hello Everyone\n\n\nLooking out over the Albères at the moment\, 7.30 in the evening\, everything is green and peaceful. The sun is setting later now and often casts its warm orange glow over my garden around 8.30. It’s only the beginning of September and there are still visitors enjoying our beautiful area – they want to make the most of the last days of summer. \nAs the temperatures drop to a comfortable 25\, the birds are back\, pecking at the cracks in the patio paving. The tramontane can blow all it likes at the moment – I’ll put up with the constant tapping and the flapping so long as I can feel a cool breeze on my face. \nDon’t be afraid to go to our Facebook page. It’s perfectly safe! Lots of photos and info. Go on\, I dare you… \nThis is our national website where there are some interesting news items. The CSF Shop will appear soon. Click on this and have a look at our new Christmas cards. \n\nTombola and raffle prizes for Autumn Ball\nWe would be very grateful indeed for anything you might have which you think worthy of a Tombola or Raffle prize. Bottles of wine or spirits\, unopened presents\, anything in good condition really: paintings\, ornaments\, china or glass\, scarves\, handkerchiefs\, fancy bed linen. \nAlso BRIC-A-BRAC wanted for a VIDE GRENIER in Maureillas (details below) \nPlease bring your donations along to any of our Drop Ins or email me and I will try and arrange a pick-up. \n\n\nDrop Ins\n\n\nWednesday 6 September\, Pablo’s Bar\, Céret\, 10.30 \n\nCome along for coffee and chat.  There will also be books and greetings cards and Céret is a great place to meet up with friends.\n\nMonday 18 September\, Café des Artistes\, Laroque des Albères\, 10.15 \nCome along and buy a coffee and take away a book or two.  If you have books to bring\, they must be paperbacks please.  No large books and no hardbacks or non-fiction.  Don’t forget there will be greetings cards on sale!\nWednesday 20 September\, Villa Lafabrègue\, Prades\, 10.15 \nCatch up with friends at this splendid villa. It’s in a beautiful area on the edge of the village. Coffee\, tea and books and greetings cards and maybe a few cakes. \nThursday 7th September\, Walk for Life\, Maureillas \nThis year’s Activity for Life has been cancelled. The Mairie requested that we share the venue for the day with another event of 100 participants. We reluctantly decided that this would not be feasible. We will be back bigger and better next year! \nLooking ahead\nSaturday 7th October\, Autumn Ball\, Bages\, 7pm – Midnight \nOur Autumn Ball in the Salle des Fêtes in Bages is always a fun evening!\nTICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE \nTapas\, Dessert and a glass of wine plus music from Zircon and dancing after the meal.

It is open to all. \nAddress: 41\, boulevard Ferroul 11100 Narbonne\nParking: at Les Halles (the Maison is in the town centre) \nIf you would like to attend this meeting\, please let Sue Ackloo know by Friday 6 October. Her email address is sud-treasurer@cancersupportfrance.org \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease remember that if anyone is struggling or needing help\, the CSF telephone and email helplines are always open.   We are there for everyone needing assistance at this time as well as for those affected by cancer. There is also lots of information on our website.\n\n\n\n\nDiana Eastaff \n

SUMMARY:Alice & les Petits Guerriers\, Charity Show
DESCRIPTION:Alice & les Petits Guerriers\nMake a note of the date because this promises to be an evening bursting with fun\, and all in aid of an amazing local charity. \nFrom 2.30pm on Sunday 24th September\, head to the Cinéma le Vauban in Port Vendres for an afternoon/evening of great entertainment. \nThere’ll be music\, singing\, dancing and lots of surprises to boot\, and it’s a family friendly event so bring the kids along too! \n\n\n\n\nReservations & info \nAdult 10€\nChildren 5€ \nBook your tickets or find out more from event organiser\, Marie-José by email: doalma@club-internet.fr\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n \nThe associations\nThis event is supported by not one but two incredible local charities. \nPrésence Ecoute et Réconfort\, based in Port-Vendres\, works tirelessly to support and improve the well-being of seniors in our region. Among their many actions\, they help with the often complex administrative procedures and host memory-stimulating workshops for nearly 150 people. \nAlice et les petits guerriers was created in honour of Alice Brunel\, who in 2022 died of cancer at the age of just 7. Her dad\, Olivier\, created the charity to provide better support for hospitalised children and their parents\, who are often at a loss when faced with a child’s illness. \nContact: aliceetlespetitsguerriers@gmail.com \n \n\n\n\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n \nThe Book\n \nOlivier has written a sensitive and thought provoking book about his daughter’s heroic journey. \n“Once the first symptoms appear and the diagnosis is made\, the discovery of a paradoxical universe begins\, where benevolence rubs shoulders with the reality of a relentless disease. The hospital world is populated by good fairies. Nursery nurses\, auxiliary nursery nurses\, doctors\, all accompany children and parents caught up in an improbable twist of fate… From the moment of hope to the moment of doubt and the unacceptable outcome\, everything is described with modesty\, tact and sometimes humour. Hope\, dignity\, energy: these three key words describe Alice\, the child who drew life in her hospital room.” \n \nALL PROCEEDS from book sales will be donated to the “Alice et les petits Guerriers” association. 🌈 Do think about buying it. Good for your French and good for a deserving charity supporting a devastating illness. May it never happen to you and yours! \nLook out for the book at the following places.\n– Canet-en-Roussillon night market (beach\, near the merry-go-round\, Place de la Méditerranée)\, Monday to Sunday inclusive\, from 7pm\, at the Cap Béar Editions stand.\n– Céret market\, Saturday morning.\n– Argelès-sur-Mer market (village center)\, Wednesday mornings\, Aspar bookshop.\n– Argelès-sur-Mer: Aspar bookshop (village centre).\n– Perpignan: Torcatis bookstores; Cajelice; Librairie catalane.\n– Port-Vendres: Oxymore bookshop. \nFROM NEXT WEEK (26th July)\n-Internet sales\n-Banyuls-sur-Mer: Maison de la Presse; Librairie La Plume Vermeille\n-Prades: Maison de la Presse.\n-Ille-sur-Têt: Maison de la Presse.\n-Thuir: Maison de la Presse; Librairie Presse-Papier. \n \n
