<strong>FAUSA</strong> is the social and philanthropic network for<br />

former FAWCO club members and others<br />

repatriating to the United States and Canada.<br />

Repatriating can often be a difficult transition as we<br />

uproot ourselves, and our families, to start life back<br />

'home' once again.<br />

Now that we are through the worst of Covid and<br />

lockdowns look like part of our past, we have seen an<br />

opening up of activities within the organization and<br />

hope to see this trend continue to grow while still<br />

supporting our virtual activities.<br />

With our annual Getaway in Santa Fe in October,<br />

and more in-person activities, our members have<br />

enjoyed the connections that they have made within<br />

the organization and our groups and clubs continue<br />

to flourish.<br />

In this 2022 edition of the <strong>FAUSA</strong> <strong>Highlights</strong><br />

<strong>Magazine</strong> we are highlighting accomplishments we<br />

have achieved philanthropically and also some of<br />

the fun activities that has been held during the year.<br />
