This will be our first MM after the summer holiday. Did you know that there is a Deutsch Amerikanischer Frauenclub e.V. (DAFC / GAWC - German American Women's Club) in Heidelberg? Their mission was to promote understanding, peace and friendship between the nations after the difficult years of war. The GAWC was founded in 1948 by American and German women and has around 140 members from every corner of the world. We're thrilled to announce that we will be welcoming two of their board members as our special guest speakers! They'll be sharing insights into their club and activities, which will help us gain a deeper understanding of the amazing work that GAWC is doing. It's going to be a truly fascinating and inspiring evening! Make sure you join us! To join please contact: activities@heidelbergiwc.org

Dinner Club is a chance for people to meet up with others and unwind from their day.  Join us for good food, good drinks, and great conversation!  It’s also the perfect excuse to get out and try a variety of places in and around Heidelberg.  Dinner Club meets once per month and we are always looking for restaurant recommendations or to test out the latest places.

Let's come together and make more heart pillows! This time, we're getting help from the amazing students at Schiller University. We've got a lot of work to do, but it'll all be worth it in the end. We'll be cutting, sewing, filling and closing those pillows. This charity event is for everyone, even if you're not into sewing. We're aiming to make as many heart pillows as possible, which will be donated to NCT Heidelberg. So, come and join us for a good cause – we'd love to see you there!

We're so happy to be welcoming our lovely members back with an outdoor BBQ Party in Heidelberg-Handschuhsheim! The surrounding area is absolutely perfect for hiking!

Family members are welcome to join us.

At this monthly meeting, we will be welcoming a guest speaker from "Anna". Founded in July 2018, "Anna" is a low-threshold counselling service for people in prostitution. It is run by the Diakonisches Werk of the Evangelical Church in Heidelberg and funded by the City of Heidelberg. Together, the Diakonisches Werk and the city's Office for Equal Opportunities have taken on the pioneering task of designing and setting up this much-needed counselling service. This service centre is named after Anna Blum from Heidelberg, who lived from 1843 to 1917. She was the founder of women's aid organisations in the Grand Duchy of Baden.
