The La Rencontre luncheon series begins on Thursday, Sept. 12, at the Franco Center in Lewiston. Doors open at 10:30 a.m. for socializing. Lunch is served at 11:30 a.m. followed by performances from the Center’s “Best of Broadway” season opener.
This event is open to everyone including the community of Franco-American and French-speaking families in the area.

The Franco Center offers tours of the former St. Mary’s Church with stories and exhibits about the French-Canadian immigrants; miscellaneous French entertainment throughout the performance year; a French library with diverse resources including oral histories; and an escape room adventure that uses history displays to find clues.
