Dear members,
we are very happy seeing so many of our members at out events, and meet and greets, but also new ladies, who just moved to Latvia.
Last Meet and Greet we opened with introducing each other to the group, and I realised we had minimum 10 different nationalities present on that day, and together we all look back to minimum 40 different countries we lived in before.
The energy of the club thrives from the diversity and involvement of our members. We invite all members to our Intercultural Workshop on Sep 17th. Together, we want to understand the culture, values and ethos of Latvia. We are extremely grateful to offer this introduction, held by the professional consultant Iveta Berkolde.
We look forward many events together with you, and the time we spend together.
Please invite your female friends, mothers of newly new arrived families, and women in your circle of friends, who value the multi-cultural fusion of our community to join IWCR.
