Our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Brigitte and Terry for once again graciously hosting the IWCB Holiday Party in their beautiful home.   This will be their last, as they will be moving out of the area.  We are grateful for the many wonderful memories of all the IWCB activities and parties they have hosted over the years.  We wish them all the best in their new location.  The party was a wonderful opportunity to see members in person again and enjoy all the special potluck dishes.

The Opening of the Members' Art Exhibit on Sunday, November 13 was a huge success.
The Exhibit is open to the public until Wednesday, January 11, so make sure you stop by the Brookline Public Library on 361 Washington St to see the beautiful pieces made by our talented members.
Thank you to everyone who contributed their pieces to the Exhibit, and also, to the members who set up the Exhibit and organized the Opening.

The sun came out and smiled at us, in spite of the forecast for rain.

It was a beautiful day for an Outdoor picnic, and a bonus tour of the Museum.

Museum Tour: Rux with our guide

To mark International Women’s Day ten of us gathered at the Natick Mall and shared the stories of inspiring women. We heard about strong women from Belgium and Germany who displayed courage and resilience and about a Somali anti-FGM activist who transformed her outrage into action and finally a Venezuelan nutritionist and humanitarian worker who has been helping in emergencies around the world for 22 years, and the last decade in her home country to alleviate the  local food crisis.

A beautiful, sunny, and cold day at the Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, MA.

Thank you Joelle F for organizing this interesting excursion. 
We had a fascinating guided tour of the Groton Historic Center which houses a number of notable paintings and sculptures by renown local artists.
We then visited the historic Groton Inn where we had the pleasure of viewing local artist and IWCB member, Joelle F’s beautiful pastel painting exhibition. 

We could not have asked for a more perfect day to gather at the deCordova Museum for our Annual General Meeting: sunshine and a light breeze.

Seventeen members enjoyed each other's company, catching up after more than a year of not getting together.

The business part of the meeting was covered, and then we enjoyed lunch, conversation and a short tour of some of the sculptures in the park. Definitely a place to visit again.
