The American Women's Club of Bern (AWC Bern) is a nonpolitical organization sponsoring social, cultural, and charitable activities in and around Bern, Switzerland. The Club was founded in 1949, and currently has 140 members.
 General Information
The Club's meetings are conducted in English. Major programs include luncheons, teas, holiday celebrations, speakers, tours, family events, charity fundraisers, and more. Programs are generally held from September through June. Some programs are designed for attendance by the public, and others can be attended by nonmember guests. Interest Groups give women the chance to meet on a regular basis to pursue common interests ranging from movie-going to wine-tasting to raising children. These groups are open to nonmembers as well.
AWC Bern produces two publications: a newsletter for members containing information about the Club and other topics of interest; and "Welcome to Bern: An English-Speaker's Guide to Life in the the Swiss Capital," a 72-page booklet with tips on adjusting to life in Bern (currently not available for purchase by the public).
AWC Bern is a member of FAWCO, the Federation of American Women's Clubs Overseas. We are proud of our efforts in raising money for charities in Switzerland and also in putting forward projects of immense interest to other FAWCO clubs as evident by our success in having several projects win Development Grants from The FAWCO Foundation since 2000.
For further Information, please send us an email through our CONTACT US Section at AWC Bern General Inquiries and we will respond as soon as possible.
