On a chilly October evening at the Community Room at the Peace Church in Handschuhsheim, Heidelberg IWC members and guests got together for the Monthly Meeting.

As guest speaker, HIWC Member Gisela Backe, of Evolving You Art Design, took the group through a fascinating and inspiring journey of self-discovery and acceptance while turning a lump of clay into a beautiful piece of jewelry. The attendees were wowed by how such a lovely item could be transformed from something dull and shapeless.

Also during the evening, President Christine Funke spoke about the values and goals of the club and the many exciting events and activities coming up. Charities Coordinator Marelie Manders touched on the volunteering opportunities available to HIWC Members with Cooking for Hope and the new partner organization Mehrgenerationenhaus.

Gisela Backe is a generous sponsor of the Heidelberg IWC providing her studio as meeting space for the club. Thank you Gisela!
