SOS French In Texas - Soutien Objectif Solidaires French In Texas

09/14/2025

It was a great pleasure and honor to welcome our new Consul General of France in Houston, Monsieur Frank Marchetti, for our first meeting, in the presence of our Vice-Consul, Monsieur François Chassaigne-Audouin. Coming from Ottawa, Monsieur le Consul Général brings with him a wealth of experience, and I am delighted to begin working hand in hand with him to strengthen the existing bilateral ties between France and our communities and partners in Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.

During our exchange, we had the opportunity to start addressing several important themes for our French community and for France in our circonscription:
✅Community & Services: discussing the evolution of our French population across the three states and continuing to work together to further enhance the already strong services provided by the Consulate, the chancellerie and to support our local associations (such as the Accueils).
✅Cultural Diplomacy: underscoring the importance (and the remarkable work already accomplished) by our cultural network, notably through the Alliances Françaises, as a powerful vehicle to promote Francophonie and nurture the deep cultural ties with the large Francophile population in our states.
✅Education in French: ensuring that education in French remains accessible, whether through our international schools, Alliance Française programs, FLAM initiatives, or the few public options available.
✅Economic Cooperation: strengthening and expanding our economic ties through the French-American Chamber of Commerce and French Tech networks, the dynamism of our CCEF, Business France, and the growing community of French alumni.
✅Support in Times of Distress: reaffirming our structured cooperation since 2021 to assist our French citizens in moments of difficulty, alongside the remarkable work carried out and in close partnership with our local organization SOS French in Texas.

We look forward to closely working with you, Monsieur le Consul Général, to continue building on our momentum and seizing the many opportunities that lie ahead for our French community and our French-American friendship

Gratitude. Solidarity. Action.
On March 29th, we had the great privilege of hosting the annual fundraising dinner for our organization, SOS French in Texas, held under the high patronage of Mr. Laurent Bili, Ambassador of France to the United States at Artisans Restaurant in Houston (thank you very much Jacques Fox for your support).
Our mission is clear and urgent: to support French-speaking individuals in distress, the majority of whom are victims of domestic violence, throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.
We were deeply honored by the presence and support of: French Senator Sophie Briante Guillemont, Harris County Commissioner Adrian Garcia, Consul General of France in Houston Valérie Baraban, Consul General of France in New Orleans Rodolphe Sambou and President of the Albertine Foundation Patrick Pagni. We thank each of them for their time, their travel, and their commitment to standing with us on this important evening.
To our benefactors, whose support makes our work possible: USA France Financials (Alexandre Quantin, MBA, RICP® & Olivier Sureau), Jade FIDUCIAL (Pascale Villet & Nicolas Pignot), INT (Olivier Lhemann) and
BCI (Nathalie Bonneté & Jean-Francois Bonneté). Merci infiniment.
We also extend our gratitude to our auction donors (jean loup chretien, BCI, French artists Emilie Duval & Sebastien Boileau, Alliance Française de Houston, Yvonamor Palix) and the many generous attendees who bid, donated, and stood with us. Your generosity empowers our volunteers to continue offering hope, dignity, and concrete support to those who need it most.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
