We will share our experiences in assisting new members and talk about what more we can do to serve them best. Location: Restaurant T.R.U.D.E. Maurienstraße 13-15, http://www.trude-hh.de The Restaurant T.R.U.D.E. is located on the premises of the “Museum für Arbeit”, very near to the S-, U- and Bus Station Barmbek. Cost: What you order We kindly request you to sign-up by Sunday, January 12 to [email protected] HELP WANTED! Currents needs more help with production! We are looking for (in no particular order): Content Editors, who ‘edit’ the content of one issue throughout the process, from picking a theme to getting it up onto the website; Layout Editors, who have interest and / or knowledge in ‘making her pretty’, i.e. setting up the look of a page and a whole magazine as well as linking it up to the internet; Contributors, who write for the magazine about any topic they may be interested in and submit their ideas and articles to Executive or Content Editors; Proofreaders, who meet twice for each issue to handle immediate editing questions and go through the articles submitted. Proofreaders do not commit to coming to each meeting, but rather come when they can. Calling All M embers: Ac tivities Chair Needed! Doing events for the AWC is a lot of fun! I started doing this fun part within the club right after I first joined five years ago. I first did it to lend support to Isabell, who was also in charge of activities at the time, and to get an idea about what being ‘Activities Chair’ is all about. I continued on with this even when Lauren took over this position. She had been doing event planning before and it was a piece of cake for her but she didn’t speak German and had never lived in Hamburg before. So I stayed on as the ‘assistant’ activities coordinator. Almost two years ago I took the over the position completely. I loved exploring my city in a new way as well as being able to show people my favorite restaurants. It was easy to do and I had support not only from the board, but from the club members as well. Many members thought up events or organized some themselves. Why? Because it is fun!! Now, however, I want to do something else. My relocation jobs have really started to pick up and sometimes I cannot go to an event. So I am now searching for someone who would like to continue for me! I’m open to help support the “new girl” and can also well imagine helping out with this position for two (or more?!) years. If you are interested or just have questions and are curious please contact me, Tina, at [email protected] Congratulations! Birthday Girls Currents November/December 2013 NOVEMBER Jennifer M.
