Cookie Exchange , Caroling ,
Continuing a long tradition , AWCH members met at the US consul general ’ s residence to chat , sing , and exchange cookies . Jason Chue was supported by his team , including the newly arrived Deputy Consul Osee Lieberman and their administrative assistant , Goschka Witoslawski . We were also happy to see two other familiar faces : Susan Elbow , US consul general in Hamburg from 2001 – 2004 , and Diana de Los Reyes , who , now retired , has helped organize this club tradition for more than 25 years .
A highlight was clearly the debut of our new choral group , the AWCH Songbirds !
An afternoon with friends : Mindy , Andrea , Ulrike , and Marinell .
