Funds raised support dual language education at the French-American School of Rhode Island. Campus Wines was the official wine sponsor and provided a fantastic all-French wine tasting.  Sponsors AAA Southern New England, Burns & Cotter, Commonwealth Foreign Exchange, Eurochannel , My Total Health Clinic, West Bay Orthopaedics and Neurosurgery, Ananke IT Solutions, Sage Media, Edwards Wildman, and 4 Eyes Design provided essential support for the event.

We welcomed close to 300 guests to the Biltmore. Auctioneer Patrick Tully led the auction, Lola’s Fashion Boutique provided beautiful outfits for the fashion show commentated by Mark Goldberg. Student artwork and items donated by the community were displayed in the silent auction, and the raffle drawing delighted the lucky winner with a $1,000 gift certificate for Whole Foods Market.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered for the 18^th annual Beaujolais Festival. Event Chair and FASRI parent Marie-France Morin led the Committee to put together a fabulous event billed as “Best ever”! The event raised close to $30,000 which will support all aspects of FASRI’s dual language program.
