American Women's Club of Basel
The American Women’s Club (AWC) hopes you are all safe and healthy wherever you find yourself. We realize these are challenging times and one can feel socially isolated, so reach out to friends and family, if only to touch base and chat. If you’d like to reach out to the AWC, for any reason, please send an e-mail to our President, Wendy Olum or Membership Chairperson, Susi Haveman.
As a result of the government recommendations, all of our activities that require leaving home have been suspended until further notice. Please follow the recommendations of the Swiss government and look after yourselves and your loved ones. We do have a few online activities. Please see our Events page for more details.
Until we can meet again in person, please keep in touch and reach out to any of us anytime.

It is a group with very diverse backgrounds, interests and ages, but with a connection to the USA. Membership is open to English-speaking women who would like to participate in AWC Basel activities.
