LEWISTON — La Rencontre will meet at 11:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 1, at the Franco-American Heritage Center at 46 Cedar St. The meal will be a ham dinner at a cost of $7 each person.

After the meal, patrons will be entertained by Louis Philippe. Patrons are encouraged to speak only French during the two-hour meal in the newly-renovated Heritage Hall followed by entertainment in the Performance Hall.

Musician and vocalist Louis Philippe will perform solo on piano for an encore performance at the center. He will present French and English songs with an occasional intermingling of humor.

Based in Portland, Philippe is also the brainchild of Reindeer Record, a small, grass-roots indie label. Philippe has a number of CDs available, including “La Vie En Rose – A Tribute to Piaf” and “Father Frenchie comes to Lewiston.”

Everyone is invited to attend and reservations can be made by calling Claudette Violette at 786-6936 or the center at 783-1585.
