Road to Sherbrooke

In the spirit of fellowship and fun and "to show by leadership and
example the pride of being a Canadian", there will be a quick and
easy French lesson in each of The Progressions published prior to the
National Convention in Sherbrooke. A few standard pleasantries will
be provided to assist you during the day as well as a few
"lines" to assist you with the fun and frolic at the hospitality
suites.
The format is
simple. The English version is presented first, then the French
version and finally the phrase is presented phonetically. Good luck
or as they say in Quebec "Bonne chance!"
