We celebrated the wedding of my son Christian and his fiance
MacKenzie in Cody, Wyoming over Labor Day Weekend.
MacKenzie, my new daughter in law, grew up in Cody. She
works for HFZ Capital Group and Christian for LGT Capital
Partners in New York City. Both met  being introduced by
their friend Charlie at 5 am in Central Park going on an early
morning bike ride.  They are a great couple and the wedding
was lots of fun with a beautiful reception at the Buffalo Bill
Museum in Cody, WY.  In addition, my husband Wolfram
and I had a great time touring Teton and Yellowstone Park
with its gorgeous country side and the “Old Faithful”.

Congratulations January Birthday Girls!

Event R eview : AWCH Thanksgiving
by Cynthia M.

Carrying my mashed potatoes as I rode the subway, the container warmed my fingers as I battled the chilly Hamburg
fall weather, and jostled for a seat. This was not starting as the Thanksgiving I am used to in California. However, when
I arrived, my senses were delighted by an array of familiar tempting smells, warm smiles, and cheerful chatter. The
AWC Thanksgiving welcomed whole families to share good food and good times with friends, and a chance to reflect
on what they were thankful for.
From the first sip to the last over-filling bite, to the gossip in the kitchen as the team championed a mountain of dishes,
the AWC Thanksgiving is a warm tradition I am thankful to have been welcomed to. It delivered all the favorites that
one may expect of a Thanksgiving feast, and left no space for loneliness on my first holiday away from home.
