Katharine C: Kristin Duncombe at MRI-Nelson Mandela

Kristin Duncombe

AWG sponsored a return visit from author and psychotherapist Kristin Duncombe (right) and were
very graciously offered the use of MRI-Nelson Mandela by the Mairie of Montpellier.

A big shout-out to them, and to the staff of the Mairie who were present and helped make the evening
so successful.  The event started with an apéro and an opportunity for those present to visit.

 Mary-Catherine introduced Mme Nicole LIZA, Conseilliére Municipale, and Deléguée au Livre et aux Littératures,  member of the Mayor of Montpellier's staff,  who spoke to us
about the commitment that the Mayor and City of Montpellier have made to the arts and to a broad swathe
of cultural activities that will enhance our community,  including many anglophone-oriented events that cover inter alia literature, photography and art.  The City's goal is to put Montpellier on the map as a recognized international cultural center.

How great for those of us here who will benefit from this major commitment and investment.
