Thursday, April 27th: LICRA

People from the LICRA will organize an activity to speak about who they are and what they fight for.

Thursday, March 30th: Assemblée Générale Ordinaire (A.G.O.)

For members only who duly paid their subscription.

Your presence is important, indeed, you will be given an account of all the events BDX-USA did, the state of the finance and what are the upcoming projects you will have to vote for or against.

If you can't come, you can still vote if you give a "pouvoir" to someone who will be present.

October 13th: Mock Election

Few elections are heating and crucial like the 2016’s American election. Who will win, Republican Donald Trump or Democrat Hillary Clinton?

　

If the media and some of the foreign politicians such as Hollande or Sarkozy made clear they would like to see the former First Lady sitting in the Oval Office, American citizens, the only ones legitimate to vote, seem to think differently.

　

Did you know? The Independence Day

Once again, BDX-USA was there to hoist the colors of the club. This time we stood outside to give the medals to all, yes all, the runners to congratulate them for doing the marathon, half-marathon and relay-marathon.

 Fortunately the weather was fine (even if it was rather humid as we were near the river). But it did not matter! The volunteers and our group warmed-up the atmosphere by laughing, cheering and shaking the wades of medals (gosh, it did sound like Christmas bells).

November 26th, 2015: Thanksgiving

Just 2 weeks before the event, we had to change our venue for our traditional Thanksgiving Dinner. However, we did not let that dampen our spirits! With a grand effort of our members & friends we transformed the Association into our 'home' for the evening. Another great night of sharing Franco-American friendship to add to our memory book!

And because Thanksgiving is a time to say "thank you"

Thanks to:
