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,

Fall reminds us of the abundance of life through the harvest, and to be grateful for what we have together with family and friends.

I hope that many of you can attend the AWG Thanksgiving Dinner taking place on Sunday, November 30th. It is the most highly attended event of the AWG year. Last year, we welcomed 85 members, family and friends. Thank you in advance to everyone who helps to make this a very special event.

Through our Thanksgiving Raffle, we’ll again be raising money to support FAWCO (Federation of American Women’s Clubs Overseas-our network of 59 clubs in 29 countries) projects that help women and girls around the world. Noel, our FAWCO liaison, will once again be our Raffle MC.

This year’s raffle prizes will focus on experiences or personal items that bring our members together. We are asking members to think of a raffle prize that you or someone you know can provide. Read further down in the November newsletter to see ideas for prizes, and please let me know if you can provide a raffle prize no later than November 26th. Raffle tickets can be purchased in advance or in person at the dinner.

Wherever you find yourself this Thanksgiving, I wish you a warm and wonderful holiday.

Jennifer Hodge Jerzyk
President 2025-2026
