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.

On the evening of May 28th our members got together for our "Assemblée Générale" or Yearly General Assembly Meeting. A new board was voted in, the year's achievements were championed, the financial report was presented, activity chairs shared highlights from this year, and everyone present enjoyed drinks and pot-luck nibbles! It was great fun to catch up and get feedback on the past year. If you couldn't make it then please feel free to view our Year-End Report HERE (or click on the image of the cover).

If you have not yet renewed you membership dues, please take a moment and do it now. https://www.helloasso.com/associations/american-women-s-group-of-languedoc-roussillon/adhesions/membership-dues-2025-2026.

Dear friends,

I hope you enjoyed a lovely summer with time to relax with friends and family. This is our 40th anniversary year for the American Women’s Group Languedoc-Roussillon. Throughout the year, we’ll hear from members representing different decades of our club history. Our club founder, Dora Taylor, is featured this month and you’ll find some of her memories about founding our club in our newsletter.

Speaking of the newsletter, you’ll notice that our new editor, member, Beth, has given the monthly newsletter a new look! Thank you, Beth! Replacing the Friendly Friday Reminder (FFR) will be a Mid-Month Reminder (MMR) sent by email on the 15th of the month reflecting what’s taking place the 2nd half of each month.

We will kick off the AWG 2025-26 year with a Welcome Back Open House at my home on Sunday, September 28th between 10 AM and 4 PM.

Thank you to our hardworking board as well as our Activity Chairs. We welcome new co-chair, Susan A, to Cook & Eat! For new members and as a reminder to long time members: Any member is welcome to propose a special club outing or a regularly scheduled activity. All suggestions should be sent to me to be considered by the AWG board. Details for all activities appear on the AWG-LR website calendar. You should have a personal login for the website. If you have misplaced it, please contact Mariannick.

I look forward to seeing many of you at the Welcome Back Open House on September 28th.

Jennifer Hodge Jerzyk
President 2025-2026
