will enjoy a French-inspired dinner buffet, a complimentary glass of Château de Berne rosé, specialty cash bars, and an intimate evening of
conversation, connection, and celebration.

de Houston. In recognition of his extraordinary dedication to the promotion of French language and Francophone culture, the Alliance
Française de Houston will present a commemorative medal and raise a toast in his honor. And because rosé was Steve’s favorite drink,
we will raise a glass of Château de Berne in his memory, a fitting way to celebrate the man who believed in the importance of culture,
friendship, and bringing people together.
