We believe the birth of Alizée and Gregoire's baby is only weeks if not days away. We've purposely avoided the subject in the forum because she's superstitious and the fear we might jinx things, but at this late date, hopefully that is no longer a concern.

As with the wedding gift, we'd like to send a card and a gift. A few of us have been discussing a gift via pm and we felt a gift certificate at a store in Ajaccio that sells baby, clothes, toys, etc, would be best. I contacted Blanche at the Chez Paulo restaurant who has a few young grandkids of her own and who is probably very familiar with stores of that type to recommend one and she said Chonchon (chonchonajaccio@gmail.com), would be a good place. This place is not far away from A&G's place.

So if others approve this, we'll start working on the nuts and bolts of the plan. If anyone wants to donate, we won't mention in the forum or on the card who donated. We know some members are not in a good position to donate and sometimes the cost of getting a donation to us can be more than the donation itself. If someone wants to announce how much they are donating that's up to them. We won't post a list, but we may post a total of money donated. Ways of donating will include Paypal and Google wallet and other ways members might find convenient for them.

We may include on the card either member's nicknames or real names if they choose or as we did with the wedding card, we just listed the names of the countries our members are from. This would include everyone who wanted to wish them congratulations and not just people who donated.
