Letter from the President Happy New Year once again to our AWO members and thank you all for choosing to join this wonderful organization. I welcome you all to step into a new year of togetherness and growth with the AWO. This organization has brought us here together in this new home away from home, a support unit, to share our knowledge, learn from each other and grow from our experiences. We have so many women of different backgrounds, interest and needs in our association, making us a strong diverse group with so much to offer. Our organization has and will always depend on our members support, which makes it possible for us to exist today and it is now up to us to leave a notable foot print for members to come. We welcome your suggestions, feedback, time and energy and we continue to thank those who are already sharing these with us. There is so much to do and many ways you can contribute to our association: • Continue to support our raffles • Start an interest group
• • •
Be a friend to someone new Continue to donate items for Spread Sunshine Share something of interest with our members in our Newsletter • Donate items needed or your time for our upcoming fundraisers or social events • Come out and enjoy our coffee mornings, socialize and have fun! Let us make our time in Moscow one not to forget. Whether it is our home forever or another assignment we have taken with our families, we now live in this unique vibrant city together. Don’t treat your time here just as another assignment, enjoy what this country has to offer, bask in the opportunities of living and traveling as an expat, create memories, create friendships and if you need help along the way the AWO is here to help you. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity! I look forward to my time as President, creating a home away from home for our members and to sharing this awesome experience and journey with you my AWO family. Michele
