World of Work:
New day, new format, new energy!
The World of Work is shaking itself up for the new year and offering
you more time and opportunities for networking, getting feedback for
your questions and issues and, of course, making friends. For this we
will be tapping into the
huge talent within the group to inform, support, provoke, advise and
amuse.
The meetings will be informal and will draw on our own resources, so
that we really have a chance to get to know and gain from the terrific
personalities and talents within the group. Over the course of the year
we will be throwing
open the floor to members to tell us what exactly their jobs entail.
These will be short presentations and afterwards there will be a chance
to discuss an issue raised by the presenter. For example: how do you
measure success in a nonprofit organisation; how can you motivate and
manage volunteers; how can we make science based careers more
interesting for girls; or, do those shoes really go with those trousers?
The meetings will now take place on the 2nd Tuesday of the month.
Please meet at the Clubrooms between 18:30 and 19:00 as before. For
more information contact jane.soederblom@bluewin.ch.
Evening Book Discussion Group
For working women, moms looking for a night out or bookworms for whom
one book discussion group each month just isn’t enough. We meet at the
Clubrooms at 19:00 on the first Wednesday of the month to discuss a
wide selection of books.
Bring something to drink or a snack to share. For more information
contact Hazel Phillips at 022 346 73 87 or
hazelp_phillips@yahoo.co.uk.
Scrapbooking
Scrapbooking combines artistic expression with precious photos and
mementos, enabling you to tell the story behind the scenes. It is a
simple, powerful way to preserve memories of years abroad, favorite
trips, holidays, events,
friendships, and other experiences. Join us for a glass of wine and we
will introduce you to the joys of “cropping.” You can get on track
before your photos mount up—and you will have a lot of fun along the
way!
When: 2nd & 4th Wednesday evenings each month
For more information, contact:
Susan Goff: 0033 450 20 44 30

NEW
Evening Writers’
Workshop
If you are interested in joining the Writers’ Workshop we will start an
evening group in April if there is enough interest. The workshop will
follow the same topics, guidelines and procedures as the day group (see
activities).
When will this happen? April 9, at 19:00 and then the second Wednesday
of each month 19:00 to 21:30 (or 22:00 depending on participation).
This is an activity for writers of all levels who will attend
regularly. Minimum participation to start the group: 10.
Sign up at the Welcome Desk by March 31 or contact jane_cadieux@yahoo.com
for
more information.
-----------------------------------
Book and Movie Group
AIWC Clubrooms, 19:00 on the third Wednesday of every month. We will
read a book and then gather to watch a film based on the same book.
We’ll discuss the book with the help of “book club”-style questions and
discuss how successful (or otherwise) the film adaptation was.
For more information please contact Hazel Phillips at 079 262 81 04 or hazelp_phillips@yahoo.co.uk.
