Annual General Meeting
Association des Familles Messier

Sunday, September 10, 2023

They say a picture is worth a thousand words… And here it is!

 

After brunch, members were invited to 150 Jules-Phaneuf Street, Varennes, for our Annual General Meeting. Around 2:30 p.m., the group went to “L’espace des bâtisseurs” (Builders’ Space), then to the Jacques-Lemoyne-de-Sainte-Marie Library, and finally to the Polydôme, located just behind the library.

 

Here are a few photos to remember this event…
