PAWI Meeting: November 19th - A Special Thanks!

A huge thank you to PAWI member Jan Kilner, wife of US Consul General Scott Kilner, for opening up their lovely home to host the November PAWI meeting. A record-setting 65 ladies attended and listened to Mr. Kilner talk more about the ever crucial Turkish-American relations. After a fascinating discussion he turned the floor over to three members of the consular staff, to explain the services offered by the American citizens service branch of the consulate. They answered many questions from our expat ladies, and helped remind us of some important details. Thank you to Lisa, Seth, and Susan! 

No small endeavor, Jan Kilner and her staff worked hard to ensure that the large crowd of women were fed, provided with coffee, and that things went smoothly. A fantastic turn out, we were able to also show the Kilners how dynamic the Canadian/American women in Istanbul are.

Thank you again to the Kilners, and to all of the women who attended.

Welcoming Team:

One of the best parts about living in Istanbul is the variety of fun and interesting things to do!  This year we've rolled up our sleeves for cooking lessons at The House Cafe, pampered ourselves with professional makeovers,  learned about organic skincare at Nerolinn, met for a summer toast at 360 and just recently met at Molly's Cafe for a delicious lasagna feast and jazz entertainment…..WOW!  There's much more to come as we approach the holiday season. 

PAWI socials are a great way to meet new members and connect with existing friends.  We look forward to welcoming you to the next event!  Please let us know if you have an idea for a great get together.
