AWC Tea – a Pre-Valentine’s Treat
Last week we were asked to do a presentation for the Basel American Women’s Club annual tea. This year’s tea was to raise money to build a school kitchen in a small village in Belarus through Future for Ritschow.

Recently I wandered Basel with my sister as she prepared to go back home to the U.S. A bit more chocolate for gifts and a send off lunch were the order of the day.
