AWC Going Dutch Sept Oct 2021

Ongoing Activities
Chat, Craft & Cake
Chat, Craft & Cake is a weekly highlight
for those who enjoy crafts and camaraderie.
Whether your craft is knitting, quilting, needlepoint
or simply mending your clothes, no
matter if you are a beginner or an expert,
you are welcome to join us. Fish that UFO
(Unfinished Object) out of the drawer and
get going on it again. CCandCer’s are always
ready with a helping hand, a lesson,
or some advice. Each week, a different
Member brings a cake―tried and true, or
experimental. Babysitting is not available
as there are lots of sharp objects about (pins,
needles, scissors and wit) so we cannot accommodate
children. Due to the coronavirus
social distancing measures, space is limited.
You must RSVP with Suzanne Dundas at
chatcraftcake@awcthehague.org to reserve
your spot.

Heart Pillow Project
Members work together to make heartshaped
pillows designed to help support the
arms of recent lumpectomy and mastectomy
patients. Each pillow is made with TLC,
wrapped, and comes with a note signed by
AWC volunteers. No sewing skills are needed,
as you can cut, stuff or wrap the heart
pillows. We are proud to provide something
both practical and comforting, and we know
our work helps because we often receive
thank-you notes from the patients who have
received a heart pillow. Due to the coronavirus
social distancing measures, space is
limited. You must RSVP if you plan to
attend via the Wild Apricot app or website
calendar. For more information, please contact
Jan de Vries at info@awcthehague.org.

Indoor Pickleball
The Fall 2021 season of indoor pickleball
will be held on Thursdays at the Sporthal
Houtrust for 10 sessions from September
23 to December 16, excluding the second
Thursday of each month. Pickleball
is the fastest growing sport in the US and
is exploding in popularity internationally,
combining elements of tennis, badminton
and table tennis. It is played with a paddle
and light ball on a badminton sized court.
All skill levels are welcome with no previous
playing experience necessary. We
invite any AWC Member who is interested
in trying pickleball to join us on a
Thursday at the courts for a trial session. If
interested, please email Sarah Partridge at
activities@awcthehague.org.

Mah Jongg
Mah Jongg is a popular tile-based game
of Chinese origin. This exciting game is
similar to the card game, rummy. We will
play the international version with 144 tiles
with no scoring. Be prepared for a game of
strategy and luck that will quickly become
addictive! All beginners and experienced
players are welcome at any time. Please join
