September Program Meeting
In keeping with tradition, our first meeting of the new academic year was a chance to get to know each other better. We played a few games and had a lot of laughs, plus we heard about what to expect from our club in the year ahead - guest speakers, special events, cooperation with our adopted charity IMMA, holiday parties, etc.
American Consulate Open Day
In honor of the 50th Birthday of the American Consulate building, Consul General Eric Nelson invited all American citizens in Bavaria and their families to an Open House on the lawn of the American Consulate General. AAUPW was represented there, among other services and organizations such as Social Security, the IRS, the US Citizenship and Immigration Service, Voter Registration and the Ausländeramt. Consulate staff grilled hamburgers and hotdogs for sale along with other American treats to raise funds for community projects. The curator of the Sep Ruf exhibition at the Pinakothek der Moderne spoke about the Consulate building and its famous architect. There was also an exhibit covering fifty years of Bavarian-American relations and a video of the celebrations of the new American Embassy in Berlin.
Letter from the President
We've had a very exciting start to our AAUPW year these past few weeks -- the Information Day at the Consulate was quite successful in recruiting women interested in our group and the debate at Amerika Haus between representatives from Democrats Abroad and Republicans Abroad was very well-received.
Many thanks to all who helped on these events. It was great to see so many of you at our "Getting Re-Aquainted" meeting in September and I am looking forward to a year of interesting programs, great books, and wonderful get-togethers.
