A word from our President, Corey Taylor

Bonjour à tous!

I grew up in Ongaonga, a small historical village in Central Hawkes Bay. My father was a shearer and my mother worked at the freezing works. When I left home I attended Massey University and from there I made my way overseas where I took up plastic lining (the installation of polyethylene membranes on reservoirs, landfills, and other containment applications). I was fortunate enough to spend time working in both France and New Caledonia, where I developed a love of French language and culture. I have since returned to Palmerston North and have started a little family. I am a member of the Alliance Française Palmerston North because it allows me to feel at home in the Manawatu whilst contributing another perspective to the ever-burgeoning cultural richness of our community.
