Events 2018-2019

The annual IWCB holiday party was held at our usual location, our founding member’s lovely home ! 

Once again it was a great success and we are very grateful to our gracious hosts. They provide such a warm and welcoming environment every year that busy members who never attend other events at least show up once a year at their home! 

One new member and her husband had a wonderful time and referred to the guests as “What a fabulous group of people!” . We all agree!

Wishing all members and their families a very happy holiday season filled with excellent health, family and friends, joy and peace. 

I am grateful for the club and all your friendships!

Thank you to everyone who brought delicious cookies for the exchange.  We all went home with a good sampling of treats from different cultures, as well as some unique items from the Yankee swap. Also, thank you to Elsa for opening her beautiful home to members for this event.

                                                                               

Thank you, Elsa, for organizing the tour of the Addison Gallery of American Art at the Phillips Andover Academy.  The docent gave us some special insight into the Men of Steel, Women of Wonder and A Wilderness Different from Ourselves exhibits.  We enjoyed lunch afterwards at the lovely Andover Inn.  Worth a trip!

We are all grateful Rux hosted our Friendsgiving get together. It was a lovely lunch, with delicious dishes prepared by all and lively discussions about our organization. Thank you all for coming and for your contribution.

We enjoyed hearing about the recent exhibition "Mindful Mandalas" from artist and educator Sneha Shrestha, watching Indian dancers, and making our own Madhubani  painting.

It was a beautiful sunny day on the Boston Harbor. The food was tasty and everyone had a great time. 

Happy Birthday to Lalitha!

   

    

We had a beautiful day for our visit to the ICA Watershed in East Boston where we viewed the video installation "Purple" by artist and film maker John Akomfrah.  After lunch at KO Pies,  we enjoyed the views of the Boston skyline across the harbor.

We had a lovely walk through the beautiful gardens and enjoyed watching the kinetic sculptures move in the wind. Followed by a delicious lunch at the Farmer and Fork cafe.

We had a beautiful day for our trip to Gloucester and tour of the Cape Pond Ice Company followed by lunch at the Topside Grill and Pub.  Gloucester is definitely worth a visit!

A big thank you to our President, Lalitha, and the other member organizers for putting together an Annual General Meeting that not only took care of business but was also a congenial event with lively conversation and good food from Maggiano's Restaurant. Be sure to keep your ideas coming for future events to keep the club active and vibrant!
