American Women's Club of Shanghai

Membership

The American Women's Club of Shanghai is always looking for new members. If you are interested in becoming a member or just want to get some information about our club, we offer a monthly Meet & Greet. This event usually takes place the first Wednesday of each month at The Four Season's Hotel Jazz 37 Lounge from 10a.m. - 12p.m. Please note this is a new venue  effective May 2008. You do not need to be a member to attend. Further details can be found on the calendar page on the web site. This event includes information about membership and upcoming activities and events. It is also a great way to meet new friends.

Note that Meet & Greets are not held in the summer. Instead we have weekly summer coffee mornings. Please see the calendar for details.  

**Notice:

Effective June 1st, 2008 for the coming year our membership dues will be raised to 300 RMB for  the whole year. This is for new memebrers and starting June 1st we will start accepting renewals for the 2008-2009 membership year. With the rising costs in  Shanghai, we need to raise our membership dues in order to be able to  provide the events  and activities that you, our members have come to expect. We  will be  adding more events this year. 

 

All Dues are used  to:

1)  Pay  FAWCO Dues, (Federation of American Women's  Club  Overseas)
including website   fees

2)  Pay  for the printing of the Member Directory  and Supplement

3) Pay for  the printing of Membership Cards

4)  Fully Subsidize Membership Day  in the Fall (September Meet & Greet) 

5)  Partially  subsidize all other Meet and Greet mornings at the  Four Seasons Hotel 

6)  Partially subsidize our Christmas,  Thanksgiving  and
