Local Tours and Virtual Gatherings AWA in Action Online
Gatherings Even a circuit-breaker can’t keep AWA members down! Approximately 18 of our groups are still meeting, virtually, thanks to AWA chairs who are finding creative ways to keep us all engaged and active. Here are some examples of ways that you can safely socialize and talk with others online. If you are interested in something new or looking to connect with other members, check out Circuit Break Activities in the Resources section of our website www.awasingapore.org
Bridge Mondays 1pm - 4:30pm
Trivia Nights Thursdays 7:30pm
While in-person Bridge meetups are on hiatus, we will continue to play Duplicate Bridge online on Monday afternoons from 1pm - 4:30pm. We follow American standard five-card major rules, and players do not need a partner to join. We randomly determine partners the day of the game, or you can pair up ahead of time. Register on the AWA website and email duplicatebridge@awasingapore.org with any questions.
Keep your Thursday nights open, because the Singapore Quizmaster is now hosting virtual trivia night sessions. These weekly sessions are a great way to test your trivia knowledge and connect with your AWA friends (and make new ones!) The event opens at 7:30 pm and begins promptly at 8 pm. It is limited to five members, but be sure to join the waitlist if it is already full because if we have enough interest, we will form another team.
Creative Hands Thursdays 10am
Listen Ladies
This group includes crocheters, knitters, embroiderers, cross stitchers, needle pointers, beaders, and more. We welcome all members who want to be surrounded by positive women who use their hands to create. We are holding weekly virtual meetings and we are participating in mask-making efforts. For more information, please email creativehands@ awasingapore.org
Happy Hour Wednesdays 5pm Grab your cocktail, mocktail, or another favorite drink and join your AWA friends for the virtual happy hour version of our Wednesday Drop-In Drinks! Sign up on AWA’s website and you’ll receive the meeting log-in information via email on Wednesday morning. -- 16 --
Is the situation with Covid-19 getting you down? Are you stressed out from being cooped up at home? If so, you’re not alone! Many of us are feeling stressed from dealing with this global crisis, and AWA’s Listen Ladies are here to support you. Instead of meeting monthly in-person, we will now support each other real-time via a WhatsApp chat group. Email listenladies@ awasingapore.org if you’d like to connect.
Book Clubs AWA’s book clubs are continuing regular discussions of member-selected books via online meetings. If you love reading and would like to join one of our five book clubs, please sign up on AWA’s website. If the groups are full, please register for the general book group waitlist. If you do not hear back from a group you registered for, please contact the group’s coordinator at bookgroups@awasingapore.org. Bamboo Telegraph - May/June 2020
