The American Women's Group of Languedoc-Roussillon

The AWG-LR is an international group of women with an American majority, all seeking the same outcomes - friendship, good company, stimulating group activities/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.

Again this year our club will be organizing a "Meet Me On The Bridge" event in honor of International Women's Rights Day. In addition to taking a picture together on a bridge, we’ll be having brunch together where there will also be a themed Trivia Game (Quiz). We will also be raising funds for the Fondation des Femmes who fight for the freedom and rights of women and against the violence of which they are victims (https://fondationdesfemmes.org/fondation/notre-action/)! 
Those who are motivated to join one of the afternoon marches in support of women’s rights that typically happen on this day will be welcome to do so after. 

Dear Friends,

Is it finally feeling like winter is over and spring has sprung ?This month’s newsletter is again filled with loads of events and activities.  Don’t miss the Women’s Day Brunch + Quiz on Sunday, March 8th along with our “Photo on the Bridge”. Please consider a generous donation to international women’s rights organization, Fondation des Femmes which appears on this HelloAsso link.

I can’t say “thank you” enough to all of our member volunteers who make AWG-LR such a wonderful place to make and renew friendships. Our network is a happy place for those of us who have just moved to Montpellier as well as those who have lived here for decades.

Save these dates:  a very special 40th Anniversary lunch on Saturday, June 6th, and our Annual Meeting on Tuesday, June 16th in the later afternoon followed by a celebratory Apéro.  Details and a way to RSVP for these events will be shared later this spring.

And for those of you who REALLY like to plan ahead, the AWG-LR Thanksgiving event will take place on Sunday, November 29th, again at Domaine de Fondspierre in Castries.
