Join us for a 5k walk in Villa Borghese and as we kick off the longer, brighter evenings!  (Clocks move forward on March 29.)  Dogs welcome (on a leash).  This is a casual but active group focused on getting outside, moving our bodies, and supporting each other through regular walks and hikes.

This will be a brisk walk --think sneakers and workout clothes.  Even so, all paces are welcome. If you'd prefer a slower pace, we'll naturally break into smaller groups as needed. If you want some fresh air with friends, this is for you!

Meeting Point: In front of Galleria Borghese. 

Please register online so we know who's coming and can share any last-minute updates. 

Burraco game at a private home, RSVP to Activities Chair Caryn Hofberg at activities@awar.org. for details.

The Knitting Club is meeting again under the instruction of Rita Horowitz Beeri, who started knitting at age eight and has picked up influences in Italy, Ireland and Scotland. Using many modern techniques, she'll share her enthusiasm and knowledge with  beginners or those looking to refine their skills. Get a glimpse of her work here!

“Life is a series of stitches, and each one matters.”

Cost: 15 euros per person

Please RSVP to Caryn Hofberg at activities@awar.org. Maximum 10 registrants! Caryn will send you details on where to go and what to bring! 

Improve your Italian with Fluency & Confidence Coach Elisabetta Maccani! The 60‑minute online session is dedicated to AWAR members who already know some Italian (can handle basic conversations) and want to feel more natural and confident when they speak.

These free sessions focus on real‑life skills that often cause difficulty – for example asking better questions, using pronouns, expressing opinions with the subjunctive, or keeping a conversation going beyond small talk – with clear explanations and practical activities.

Every session is shaped by the needs of the women who join: we start from the situations and difficulties they describe, and work in a very focused way to give them concrete tools to overcome those challenges in Italian.

The event will be held via Zoom so you can join from anywhere. The link to join will be sent via email after you register.

The event will be held the first Tuesday of the months: February, March, April, May, and June.

Write to president@awar.org with any questions.
