“Chinese Auction”:    Chinese auction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also called penny social, tricky tray or pick-a-prize to avoid any possible racial overtones.

The difference between a raffle and a Chinese auction is that in a raffle with multiple prizes, there is one "hat" from which names are drawn, but in a Chinese auction each prize has its own "hat". This allows ticket buyers to choose which prize to focus on, as opposed to having a first, second, third, etc. prize.     Bidders may buy as many tickets as they like, and bid them on any item(s) they want by placing them in a container in front of the item(s) they are trying to win. At the conclusion of bidding, the winning ticket is drawn from the tickets bid on each item, and the item is given to the owner of that ticket.

Calling all parents !  The Alliance Française of Sarasota is pleased to offer a class for children from ages 6-10  to learn French while dabbling in impressionist painting.  Designed by the creative and experienced Marie-Christine Rouffiac, who taught this class very successfully at the Alliance Française of Twin Cities Minnesota, techniques such as the pointillisme of Georges Seurat, the portraits of Van Gogh, the flowers of Monet, still life from Cézanne and landscapes from Camille Pissaro will be studied and used to bring out the best in each child while speaking and learning the accompanying French words (colors, objects, forms, etc).   

 

 

ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE'S ''COOKING WITH THE CHEF'' SERIES

TO CONTINUE IN SEPTEMBER  

After a successful introduction on May 17th at the newly opened Suzette Restaurant on Lemon and 1st Street in Sarasota, the Cooking With the Chef series is scheduled to continue in late September.  Look for dates and times in the Home Page on this website and in the Bulletin.   Again, these hands-on classes will focus on tricks of the trade and range in skill level from ''recreational'' to ''master.''  Treat yourself (and maybe a friend) to a brunch that's educational, fun and delicious.  And discover how the right wine can enhance a meal.  Chef Didier Guedras, formerly of Le Parigot Restaurant in south Sarasota and before that of Le Petit Zinc in chic St-Germain-des Près in Paris, will show us how to prepare a sumptuous meal.
