Looking Ahead

AWC calendar, September – December 2024

Hard to believe, but summer is coming to an end. The good news is that this also means our regular groups and events are back on the calendar. If you’ve missed attending the Spiritual Exploration and Support Group, or the heart pillow-stuffing parties, then welcome back!  And if you’ve never participated in these wonderful groups, then join us in September!  The calendar keeps changing as we plan more events, so check it out as you read each issue of the Chronicle, to be sure you can attend every event that interests you.
Pay particular attention to the voting events that are coming up this month; your vote counts so much this year. See also any FAWCO online events, which are open to all members.

If you have questions about any AWC events – or wish to suggest additions! – contact Mary Stewart Burgher (emessbe@yahoo.com).

For our holiday party in December, we’ll combine helping a charitable project AND helping you to complete your holiday shopping and to sample some holiday treats.

We plan to package seasonal goodies for donation to the homeless clients of the Missionaries of Charity’s soup kitchen in Nørrebro and for sale to members. You’ll also have the chance to buy seasonal jewellery made by Mary Stewart Burgher – all proceeds from sales will go to AWC charities, as always.

Join us to enjoy good company and holiday treats, while completing your holiday shopping list AND donating to charity – the perfect combination!
