“e-Marketing Tips & Techniques”

.It has become a cliché, but it is true that the internet has changed everything. Today, armed with a website and a small budget, it is possible to market your product or service much more effectively than ever before. The internet provides powerful tools for marketers, butalso a tyranny of choice and sometimes overwhelming complexity. Franglo founder and e-marketing expert Lorin Kalisky has worked in high-tech, Web development, and electronic marketing for as almost as long as there has been an internet - in both Paris and in the San Francisco Bay Area. If you don't already know about Franglo, you should... it's a "Paris-based" community web service that lets you read and post classified ads for free. In just a year's time, Franglo has become the premiere online community "for people who speak English and live Français". In addition to his work with Franglo, Lorin has helped dozens of companies and organizations more effectively market their products and services, and increase their revenues using the internet.

Our Guest of Honor:

Meredith Mullins Photography

Meredith Mullins is an internationally exhibited photographer from Pacific Grove, California. With a background in television, film, and communications, Ms. Mullins has been a fine art photographer for 33 years. Her work is represented in several publications and is in private collections throughout North America and Europe.

An explorer by nature, she is most well known for her work from her travels in Europe, Asia, and Africa. She believes in digging beneath the surface to find the real character of a place and its people.

From Meredith:

I love the rhythms, humor, and spirited characters of a place…It’s all about connection. I introduce myself with my camera, but the resulting relationships last over time.

Meredith has recently published a book of photographs and stories about Paris: In A Paris Moment.

Samples of Reviews:

“Far more intriguing than merely an art book or travel book, this collection of short essays, duotone photographs, and travel notes captures in images and words the essence of the world’s most romantic city.” Metro LA

"This is a wonderful book which seeks not the tourist sites, but those places and faces which illuminate the soul of this great city."Linda Walonen, Bay Books, San Ramon, California

The American Indian Medicine Wheel Presented By Jonathan Matsoukis. Paris Soirees Dinner Sun 15 Oct At 18h30


(We're participating in the Expatica Fair - stand 84 near the entrance. Then there’s the dinner afterwards at the the new apartment)

Paris Soirees Has A New Address! Patricia is so happy to have such a large apartment that’s full of light for Paris Soirees. The New Flat Is In The Hip Sentier District- Just Up From Bustling Rue Montorgueil And Les Halles. The Directions Are Below.

RENDEZ VOUS AVEC PATRICIA

This Sunday 15 October At 18h30


Our Guest of Honor:

Jonathan Matsoukis And The American Indian Medicine Wheel

From Jonathan:

I first learned about the American Indian Medecine Wheel about 8 years ago and connected with it right away. It was and still is used by American Indians as a tool and guide to better understand the world and resolve personal or societal issues. Not many people know that the American Political System is actually inspired by the Medecine Wheel. What attracted me to this particular system was its sophistication and yet practical nature. It is both elegant in its design concept and rich in its content. I continue to find it a source of insight and inspiration.
Other than simply being a topic of interest, I intend to share some practical tools from this system that anyone can take home and try on. Please join us in this exploration of a system that so beautifully maps the journey of life.

I was born and raised in Paris and have lived between the US and France all of my life. I now reside in San Francisco, California which I see as a mother ship for new ideas and view points from around the world.

Paul Tannish, Vocalist, Composer, Guitarist And HiC, Tarot Reader

About Paul

Paul will give a concert

Paul’s music is born out of his travels and his own life experiences, relating to love and passion and to common feelings and emotions people all throughout the world share.
He is accomplished guitarist, songwriter and singer. His music covers many different genres and will speak to everyone in a special way.

From HiC

HiC will not give a talk but will be available for Tarot readings

Tarot is a valuable tool offering information and insight into what is happening now in your life in order to be able to have what you need to make decisions and take actions to create your own future you. No question or subject is off limits. Readings can provide insight into current situations, relationships, choices and decisions, your Year Card, your Life Purpose card, etc. I would encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to gain insight into whatever you might be questioning or dealing with in your life right now. And, not to worry, tarot readings are actually FUN and not scary. 8) Please visit
http://www.tarotbyhic.com

As a Tarot Counselor, I view each reading as an interactive process between the Universe and the client. I simply serve as the facilitator between the two. Please visit :
