At the same time , another group of the AWCH members was sorting clothing donations at Hanseatic Help . We meet every other Friday for volunteering sessions organized by Diana Schnelle and Shelly Schoeneshoefer .
Whatever your interests , the AWCH always has something for you . And if you don ’ t see an activity that fits your interest ? It ’ s easy to get your own event on the calendar . Just contact Sara to find out how ( activities @ awchamburg . org ).
AND FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR :
We ’ ve got some special events coming up , including the new membership meeting , Meet & Mingle , on September 6 . In October , we are working with the US Consulate to host a booth at Hamburg ’ s huge Tag der Deutschen Einheit celebration on October 3 . We will need as many volunteers as possible , so let me know if you can help ! Next is the FAWCO Region 5 Meeting in Hamburg November 3-5 , an annual conference for members of women ’ s clubs throughout Germany and Austria . Then we let loose with our annual Thanksgiving feast in November and the holiday party in December .
