Le Cercle Belge de Washington DC accueille dans la capitale
américaine les expatriés belges francophones, originaires pour la plupart
des Régions de Bruxelles-Capitale et de Wallonie, ainsi que les membres de
leur famille et leurs amis. Les compatriotes néérlandophones et
germanophones, les Américains intéressés par la Belgique et, de manière
plus générale, les Francophones originaires d'autres pays y sont également
les bienvenus. La cotisation annuelle est de $35 pour les familles, $25
pour les individus et $20 pour les étudiants.
Les membres de l'association et leurs invités se retrouvent régulièrement
le premier lundi de chaque mois - sauf en janvier, juillet, août et
septembre - pour un Rendez-Vous Francophone de 18h30 à 19h30 dans la
mezzanine du Bistrot du Coin (1738 Connecticut Ave, NW, près du centre de
Washington DC) Certains
ne font que passer pour y boire une choppe de bière. La plupart prolongent
la soirée dans une ambiance conviviale et sympathique autours d'un
traditionnel plat de Moules et Frites. C'est l'opportunité pour les Belges
récemmment installés dans la capitale américaine d'établir des contacts
utiles et de s'y faire de nouveaux amis. Durant l'année le Cercle Belge de
Washington DC
organise également des activités socio-culturelles réservées à ses membres
et il dissémine régulièrement --par e-mail et par l'intermédiaire d'un
site internet-- des informations pratiques qui facilitent l'établissement
des expatriés dans la capitale américaine et leur intégration dans la
communauté internationale francophone de la région.

The VIW - Washington Flanders Club brings together a diverse group of people
who have an interest in Flanders and Flemish culture. It is a "circle of friends"
who get together to enjoy each other's company at a whole range
of activities. It also aims at making Flanders better known to people who
are not from the Flemish region. We therefore also welcome French and English
speaking friends and we hope all interested enjoy being part of our organization.
We offer an exciting program such as a summer brunch, a champagne & dessert New Year
celebration, nature walks, ice skating, a wine-tasting week-end, theatre, music and
information evenings.
The club also has a monthly get-together "Tussen Pot & Pint" at
the Elephant Castle, 1201 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington DC 20004 (202) 347-7707.
Every first Friday of the month (except January, July and August) at 7 pm we meet to
have a beer and to catch up on things. You'll be amazed how fast your Dutch improves
when you're tasting a smooth Belgian beer!
All this and more for a membership fee of $25 per person or $35 per
family.

Society of Friends of Belgium in America
Mr. François M. de Visscher, Chairman

New York, NY 10018
www.friensofbelgium.org
The Society of Friends of Belgium was established in the fall of 2006 to identify,
support and stimulate Belgo-American cultural initiatives in the United States.
Exposing the richness of Belgian culture to the American public promotes the
image of Belgium in the U.S. and enhances the mutual understanding between
the two countries.
The Society of Friends of Belgium is a private not-for-profit organization based
in New York, comprised entirely of volunteers. It receives the active support
of the Ambassador of Belgium in Washington and the Consul General of
Belgium in New York. The Society is chaired by Mr. François M. de Visscher and
guided by a Board of Advisors, composed of Americans and Belgians based in
the U.S. and in Belgium. All operating expenses of the organization are provided
by The Board and the Executive Committee so that all money contributed goes
towards supporting the initiatives of the organization.
