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.

We’ll be raising some Euros for our friends at Table d’Anouk who help feed our neighbors every week. More and more AWG members are volunteering on Monday afternoons to help chop and prep yummy meals. If you haven’t had a chance to help out, please reach out to Gretchen who can help you get involved.

Dear friends,

Our membership now numbers 84 - perhaps the largest number of members in AWGLR history! Welcome to Anna and her aunt, who has re-joined AWG, and to Lindsay, an American who moved to Montpellier this year from Albania, as well as Christine and her companion, Harley, a ‘golden doodle’ who will melt your heart, have also joined AWG. Please welcome them when you see them!

Don’t miss our Fundraiser/Apéro Dînatoire with a Quiz this month on Saturday, April 26, when we’ll find out who knows what and enjoy good company and great food and beverages. Prizes for the first place team! You should have received an Evite for this event. We’ll also be raising some Euros for our friends at Table d’Anouk who help feed our neighbors every week. More and more AWG members are volunteering on Monday afternoons to help chop and prep yummy meals. If you haven’t had a chance to help out, please reach out to Gretchen who can help you get involved. It takes a village to organize all the great activities and events that AWG hosts every year.

The election for the 2025–26 board begins on May 1 online and in person at our Annual General meeting (+ Apéro!) which will take place on Tuesday, May 27. (Yes, its in May this year because of City of Montpellier space constraints in June.) You’ll receive details for the AG in the May 1 newsletter as well as a voting ballot.

Questions? Please don’t hesitate to contact me or the nominating committee.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Hodge Jerzyk

2024-25 President
