The 2009 FACC Annual Meeting and Cocktail was held at Restaurant  Le Mistral. It was a great occasion for President Jean-Francois Bonnete and Executive Director Eglantine Pauvarel to assess the FACC's activities in 2008, our upcoming events, our trade services and trade missions to Europe. FACC Secretary John Eldridge proceeded to the election of the board of directors and new officers.

More than 100 guests joined us for the meeting and enjoyed the cocktail party which followed. Musician Leo Polk offered a very relaxed atmosphere while Restaurant Le Mistral served some wonders.  Mark B. was the lucky winner of the raffle for a pair of 1st class domestic tickets on Continental Airlines.

The reception also gave our members and guests the unique opportunity to meet our honoree for the 2009 FACC Benefit Gala Mr. Giuseppe Risi. Mr. Risi is the Owner and Managing Director of the Risi Competizione - winner of the 2008 Le Mans 24 Hours Racing Competition, racing the Ferrari 430 GT, and President of Ferrari Maserati of Houston. The gala will be held on Saturday, May 16 at the Intercontinental Houston Hotel. We look forward to seeing you there!
