SUMMARY:Homecoming
DESCRIPTION:Start the new club year by catching up with ACL friends (and meeting new ones) during our Homecoming Cocktail at Star Ferry. The American Club of Lyon will provide food and beverages\, and members can order extra food or drinks as they wish. We love our little ones\, but this event is for adults (with a special section for teens). Our Family Happy Hour this month is open to our younger members. \nMembership dues should be paid prior to this event\, so if you haven’t done so already\, please renew your dues. If you’d like to bring a guest\, please confirm with Adam Falk first. Guests will be confirmed case-by-case and will need to by €10 each at the door. \nThe ACL will pay for planches of charcoutrie & fromage\, tapenade\, and frites for the group to nibble upon\, as well as two drinks per person. You may order any drinks from the menu except cocktails. A few bottles of wine will be available to self-serve. The two drink limit includes the self-serve wine. Everyone is on scouts honor so we do not break our budget! Anything beyond two glasses or additional food should be paid for individually. \nIf you have any questions\, please get in touch! \nHost: Adam Falk
