The American Women's Group of Languedoc-Roussillon

The AWGLR is an international group of women with an American majority, all seeking the same outcomes - friendship, good company, stimulating group activitives/events. We come together to share our passions, like reading and writing;  cooking and wine tasting; donating and volunteering; assisting and mentoring in order to work towards a common goal: to enjoy our lives together. We also raise funds for causes close to our hearts. Please do not hesitate to contact us at awg.grapevine at Gmail.

Sunday January 19th from 3:00 to 5:00 pm
Where: Espace Jacques 1er d’Aragon, 117 rue des États Généraux, Montpellier (Tram stop: Rives du Lez)

If you found this preview inspiring, please join us for a couple of hours on Sunday January 19th from 3:00 to 5:00 pm to partake in the Galette des Rois and enjoy a FAWCO talk by Noel Gaussens. This new AWG tradition gives us all a chance to better know FAWCO and and each other as we share conversation over a piece of galette and a glass of cider or a warm cup of tea. Asher Dewey (Evette’s son) may also be available to present the video he prepared documenting his time in the FAWCO Youth Program.

RSVP via your Evite. If you have any questions, contact Wendy H. or Barbara J.
Note that the Espace Jacques 1er d’Aragon is on the ground floor of the building where the AWG Clubhouse is located.

Dear Friends,

Happy New Year 2025!

During the challenging times in which our world finds itself, our spirits can be lifted by the important work that AWGLR does in our local community and around the world.  Last year we raised 1750 Euros and supplied member volunteers to Montpellier-based, Table d’Anouk, which works to alleviate food insecurity in our local community.  

We also support the FAWCO target project, which for the past several years has been “Awesome Blossoms”, an urban farming project in Kenya. 59 member clubs in 29 countries raised over $160,000 in support of this target project.

You’ll have a chance to socialize and learn more about our club’s work with FAWCO at the upcoming Galette and Cider Party on Sunday, January 19th, 3pm at the Jacques 1er d’Aragon Meeting Space on the ground floor. Noel, our FAWCO member liaison, will be presenting. You should have received an Évite with more details in your email.  Thank you to our Events VPs, Wendy H. and Barbara for organizing.

In this new year, I invite and encourage any of our members to propose an activity or outing for our club - social or philanthropic - to actualize this year.  Please contact me with your suggestions.

Jennifer Hodge Jerzyk

2024-25, President AWGLR
