Blue Star Strategies marks the passing of
President George Herbert Walker Bush, the 41st president of the United States.
In addition to his many years of public service, President Bush helped guide the world out of the Cold War while managing difficult transitions, including the fall of the Berlin Wall, the reunification of Germany, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
We honor President Bush and his legacy of leadership and service.

Bistro Dining at Jòia...
in Paris, France
Karen, Sally, Etienne,
and Mathilde recommend...
Jòia, a chic new Parisian bistro-style restaurant from Michelin star chef Hélène Darroze.
Jòia, which means "joy" in the Béarnese dialect, pays homage to Chef Darroze's
grandmothers "Louise and Charlotte" and to her roots in southwest France.
Don’t miss the "mille-crêpes au thé matcha," made with multiple layers of thin Breton pancakes, mascarpone cheese, and matcha tea. Uncommon and
delicious!
Jòia, 39 Rue des Jeuneurs 75002 Paris 2, France, Tél : 01 40 20 06 06
