A Few of our Favorite Things

 

June’s AWF get-together will be a “Favorite Things” party!

Monday June 3rd at 7:30 pm at Krisi’s flat.

How the premise of the party works: Each person who comes should bring a favorite item to share (this could range from your favorite lip-gloss, kitchen utensil, gift card to your favorite coffee shop, a favorite cookie recipe that you’ve made, just keep it under £6). We will take turns sharing our item and then draw a name for who gets to take your item home that night. 

Of course there will also be fun food and drinks to share. Come join in the fun!

Downton Abbey Night

You are cordially invited to a Downton Abbey themed night. Monday May thirteenth, seven-thrity in the evening at Charlotte’s home.

We will be enjoying period inspired cuisine, entertaining Downton Abbey activities, and learning Downton Abbey etiquette and history.

Come dressed in your favorite “upstairs” or “downstairs” attire.

Hors d’oeurvres inspired by the show would be appreciated. 

Pleas RSVP by May eleventh.

A Night of Nutrition

 

Our very own Beth is a dietitian and will be sharing some of her nutrition tips. She will also answer any questions you might have. You can email her (tobeth@runbox.com) a question in advance or have it ready for the meeting. You are also welcome to bring your favorite healthy snack or tip to share.

When: April 1 @ 7:30

Where: Beth’s Flat

February Fiesta!

When: February 4th @ 7:30p.m.

 

Where: 

Casey’s house: If you have been to my house before, we just moved to a different one, so make sure to look at a map!  I will also send some directions when we get closer to the date.

 

What: 

Mexican food and silhouette art making!  I will have chips and queso and salsa, and drinks.  Feel free to bring any of your favorite Mexican snacks/dishes.  

I love to make things, and thought that this ‘silhouette art’ would be an easy and fun craft to work on for the night!   This is a great thing to do to remember your kids at a certain age, but I have also done one for my husband and I in the past, even our dog!  

All you need to bring is a profile picture (can be printed on regular printer paper) of yourself/husband/kid(s) in the size you would like the final silhouette to be.  (8×10, 5×7, etc).  For girls, the silhouette works best if hair is up in some type of ponytail/bun.  

I will provide the rest!

 

 

Hope you all can make it!

 

 

January Tea Tasting

Our January AWF will be hosted by Mrs. Joy Price at my flat, Jan 7th at our traditional 7:30pm. 

This month we’ll be having a fancy tea tasting evening. Feel free to wear your pearls, dawn a hat & gloves if you’ve got ‘em and we’ll sip tea in style.  If you would like to bring a tea-worthy snack (homemade or otherwise), need a lift, or more info, please let myself or any of the AWF leaders know. Please RSVP to Joy if you will be able to attend!

[Since the hostess is on campus at the University so there will not be as many cars making the journey in.  If you’re driving and can give a lift, please email us so we can offer your seats to others.]

See you there!
