FAWCO NEWS CORNER October 2025

Our club AIWAV was presented to the worldwide group of FAWCO Reps and Presidents in September. We got a lot of postive feedback about how active and exciting we are. Keep up the enthusiasm and creativity, Ladies!

The Stolpersteine (“Stumbling Stones”) event will most likely be on November 10th to connect with the commemoration of Kristallnacht. This cleaning and memorial will occur in conjunction with the FAWCO club AWC The Hague and Pietre d'Inciampo Venezia. The Stolpersteine is the world’s largest decentralized monument, and through this shared effort, we ensure that those lives are never forgotten.
