Congrès Québec
2006 Gathering
19 au 21 Mai 2006
Québec City, Québec Canada
Bienvenue à Québec!
And the first ever international village gathering sponsored by the
Club Les Petits Villages in beautiful Québec City,
Canada. This fun-filled event included a multitude of activities with an
international flare. Seminars included handouts in both English and French and
translators provided assistance for French-speaking attendees.
Department 56 was on hand to help celebrate its 30th anniversary.
Over $8,000 was raised for the Ronald McDonald House, the gathering's charity.
The gathering committee did an outstanding job and we can't wait to return to Québec
City!
