Last night, the Governor for Rotary District 1520 came to the Lens-Lievin club. I love it when esteemed guests come and visit because it gives us a great excuse to eat! Unfortunately, I did not talk much with the governor, but from the few words that passed between us, I gleaned that he is very nice.
At one point in the evening, we participated in a game where a song played, and we had to guess it's movie of origin and the person in the room with whom it corresponded. Hugues's movie was "Les Dents de la Mer" (Jaws) because he's a dentist, and mine was "L'Etudiante," since I am obviously the student of the group.
My suspicions about the lack of feminism in France were confirmed last night. There are only three female Rotary members in the Lens-Lievin club, and they have all recently joined because only five years ago, this club was exclusively for men. Also, there are more female Rotarians in Maghreb (Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco) than in France! Now, that is saying something!
