The Fayetteville-Saint Avold Friendship Alliance is hosting a Bastille Day celebration on Saturday July 12, at 6 p.m., at the Heritage Square Historical Society in Fayetteville. Tickets are $20 at the door, and include light appetizers and beverages.
The FSAFA, an official Sister Cities International member, is a 50l(c)(3) non-profit organization comprised of volunteers whose mission is to continue to grow the relationship between the citizens of Fayetteville and its International Sister City, Saint Avold, France. This Sister City "twinning" was first established in 1993 by proclamation of the Fayetteville City Council.
Annually, they provide flowers for the Memorial Day ceremonies held at the Lorraine American Cemetery and in particular an arrangement for the grave of Fayetteville's own Private William Shaw. In the last few years they have hosted multiple delegation visits from Saint Avold, with teachers and students engaging in educational and cultural exchanges.
FSAFA would be grateful if you would kindly consider donating a special silent auction item for this event that is part of the Bastille Day festivities. Funds raised will be used to continue to support the mission of the FSAFA.
The Fayetteville-Saint Avold Friendship Alliance seeks to promote an appreciation of the sacrifices that have been made by the men and women of the United States and France for the protection of liberty and freedom; to promote and enhance the historical, cultural and educational relationships between Fayetteville and Saint Avold; and to provide educational and cultural exchanges between the citizens of Fayetteville and Saint Avold.
Community participation in the Bastille Day event will greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Kris Johnson at 845-238-1384.
