Art Auction September 30, 2023
NEW !
Thanks to the generosity of artists from Caunes-Minervois and elsewhere, we are able to present an auction of works of art for the benefit of Languedoc Solidarity with Refugees (LSR).
Throughout the year, our LSR volunteer group in Caunes-Minervois, Olonzac, and the Haute Vallée de l'Aude, and thanks to the support of our donors, provides assistance to 33 refugee families in Carcassonne by providing them with food, school supplies, and other essential needs.
At our "Taste of Caunes" fundraising dinner on September 30th, we're holding a sealed art auction. The auction catalog is available here. You can bid in two different ways by following the instructions below. You can make more than one bid, and we ask that you honor at least one.
If you attend the September 30th dinner, you will be able to view the artwork and make a sealed bid that evening. If your bid is successful, we ask that you pay by cash or check payable to LSR whenever possible. Your artwork will be wrapped and you will be free to collect it that evening.
If you are not coming to dinner, you can make an offer as follows:

We are raising funds for the children of La Cimade in Béziers who will be returning to school next month.
As you know, there is nothing worse for a child than not having the same equipment as their classmates to study, whether it is books, bags, pens or protractors, our goal is to give every child what they need.
We're trying to raise €630, or €50 for each secondary school child and €20 for each primary school student. These are small amounts, but they will help children regain their confidence at the start of a new school year. Thank you for giving generously.
Reminder . Donations made to LSR are eligible for to a reduction in taxes paid in France up to 66% of the amounts paid.
The picnic organized by the LSR team of the Haute Vallée de l'Aude to meet refugee families in Carcassonne was a wonderful opportunity to get to know the people we have been helping for several years. It was very friendly and enjoyable.
Hannah's famous Vide Dressing will take place on May 17 and 18 in Puissalicon.
Don't miss out on the fantastic deals on offer!
It's also a good way to help us help those in need...
