French club sells Pere Noel grams

Published: December 15, 2009

The French Club sold their annual Pere Noel Grams at all lunches from Nov. 23-30. The Grams were just $1 and each came with a flower and personalized note attached.

“The best part about Pere Noels is when people receive them,” French student freshman John Cartwright said. “They not only get a treat, they get a mini cultural lesson in a gram.”

This year marked the 20th year Pere Noel Grams were sold. Last year French club sold 250 grams, but this year sales fell short.

“The reason why I think we sold 200 [grams], was there were fewer people [in the club], which actually made it slower,” French Club sponsor David Fritz said.

Next year the French Club plans on advertising more, getting more students involved, and having Pere Noel sales increase dramatically.

“When Christmas comes around, I want people to think about Pere Noel and Santa Claus,” French student Mary Malkmus said.
