Part of the expat culture in most foreign countries includes these "groups" for expat wives to join. The purpose of such groups is to provide social opportunities for spouses (who are often alone for long periods of time because their husbands work so much...sounds familiar to me!), and to meet other expats in the area. The Moscow AWO is a wonderful group to belong!
I mentioned the AWO after I went to my first meeting (April 8th- the 5th day of living here), but since today was the kick-off meeting, I decided it warranted another write up! Today was "interest group" sign up where we get to pick all the fun activities we want to be a part of this year. I have decided to volunteer monthly at the Children's Cancer Hospital (Spread the Sunshine), signed up for Daring Diners, and Mary's Friday afternoon stitch. I might also try Nordic walking and Understanding Russia. Don't want to over commit, I need my facebook time! Oh yeah, and cleaning time! Must talk to Darron about getting a maid. Too many things to do!
Our meetings are the first three Wednesday's of each month at the Hard Rock Cafe.
