to Language Cultural Fun English French exchange group in Paris
Hi folks,
here is a little message to tell you how I feel about the group.
As you can see, 16 people are members of the group, and that makes a
lot of people !!! Nonetheless, very few are actually active members. I
might be partly responsible for that but I also feel that very few
members are actually interested in the group activities. That makes me
feel bad but shit happens. I'm still convinced we're gonna work it out
even though it's harder and harder to keep "faith"...

I'll asked you all a very very simple thing for us to know who's in.
Please drop me a line to tell me what you think. Nothing complicated,
just a "yes I'm in" or "no I'm not in" is enough. In order to make the
process efficient, the answer dead line is 2 weeks, meaning anyone who
haven't answered by that time (Monday, March 1st 6.15pm) will be
automatically out of the group. Don't get me wrong, I don't wanna put
pressure on anyone.
I hope members I already meet will stay in because I've really enjoyed
meeting all of you.
regards,
Olivier

The food market in Belleville

Jazz club evening
Cooking class

Happy hour

Please let me know if any of these ideas interest people.
All the best, Elizabeth

Hi Olivier,
Yes, I am in, depending on the activity and if the notice is not to short, I mean by that a couple of days in advance.
Thanks for organizing this.
Hope to meet you soon.

Hi Olivier,
Thanks for your email. I think I will unsubscribe from the group. It is a great idea but I travel out of the country for work most weeks, so I don't want to be unreliable.
Thank you for all your trouble.

Dear Olivier,
1. Don't worry = be happy, be cool.
Things go pretty well already, I think, we have still a lot to do (hmmm it's Paris or what;). We should definitely do once the wrestling thing...and I'd love to go to the Belleville market.
2. People are soooo difficult to get motivated. And don't get me wrong, but even more difficult to motivate them when you "overrule" a group like this, I didn't want to tell anything not to hurt you, but maybe some got intimidated by the already set conditions, you had/have such a determined way of thinking how this should work. But groups have their own lives, and maybe there are months when nothing happens, and months when we could do things all the time - such as picnincs at springtime, and going for a smaller trip, or theatrical play....
Just don't get the whole thing too serious. If people come, great, if they don', just don't worry.
Personally I'm sick of this season, the whole cold, and in the WE-s just difficult to get a move...if weather is going to change things might turn around. (And I also have an actuality, which results my leaving this Fri for 1 week, but this is a sad story, I just write you that people might have many things on their minds, in their life)
Sometimes others don't react the way you expect them, don't be too harsh, this is not against you, just happens. We are all so different.
Ok, hope to see you soon, in March anyway...
Take care
