A Taste of Paris in New York City:  A Photo tour of Printemps 

Presented by Lee Nemchek

Printemps is a 55,000 square foot, dual-level, highly ornate shopping destination that opened in New York City in mid-March 2025. This “luxury retail experience” has to be seen to be believed! Join us for a photo tour of this first U.S. outpost of the iconic French department store chain.

Friday, September 26, 7:00 PM (doors open at 6:30 PM)

St. John's Church 2nd floor, 1235 Wilmette Ave, Wilmette (MAP)

This fundraiser is a fun, friendly evening with francophone-themed questions in English.  Prizes will be awarded.  

Let's see if we cannot round up at least 8 AF DuPage members to make a team.  If you are interested, please email afdupagevp@gmail.com  Do NOT register via the AF du North Shore, as AF DuPage has already reserved a table for the team.  Pay the $25 registration fee to Charles Coulon.  Carpooling is available and encouraged.

Bring snacks and beverages to share.  As parking is limited, please carpool.
