International Women in Portugal 20th Anniversary and Activities Fair announcement.
17th September 2011 is the 20th Anniversary of International Women in Portugal's Founding General Meeting at the Hotel Atlantico, Monte Estoril. when 70 ladies met together to form a new club. They wrote into the constitution that the purpose of the club was to "Provide English speaking women the opportunity to express their ideas, utilise their talents and enrich their lives through their contribution to both the club and the larger community in Portugal." IWP has had approximately 3000 members over the last 20 years with an ever changing membership but we think we continue to achieve that mission statement and our 20th Anniversary edition of the club magazine "A Janela" has memories of the last 20 years plus reports and pictures of current events.
To start our 20th Anniversary Celebrations we invite interested women to visit our Activities Fair in the Garden of the British Retirement Home, Quita da Fonte, Rua Bento Carqueja 43A, Sao Pedro do Estoril. Our Activity Captains will show you the wide range of Activities we have on offer and the refreshments will reflect the 30 plus different nationalities of our members. We have Activities for all ages, and interests, plus tours, lunches, Charity coffee mornings, and informal "Lets Meet".
