<![CDATA[2012 New Years Tex-Mex Brunch]]> http://www.awcduesseldorf.org/?cl=awcd&mi=6&mi2=1&mi3=1&so=1&ca=news&ni=1&ci=4115 Hola Tex-Mexers (and baby Tex-Mexers)!
 
Thanks to all who participated and made our 2012 New Years Tex-Mex Brunch another great gathering.  We had a fun group of thirty five people who joined us at Casita Mexicana for some fantastic food, delicious drinks and camaraderie.  
 
Congrats to Cheryl and Oliver - winners of this year's 'Hot Tamales' guessing contest - and the 2012 Chili Pepper Wall Calendar prize.


It was an extra special gathering as we got to celebrate the 1st Birthday of Foster, Rachael & Stefan's son.  The Casita crew was also celebrating and in a festive mood as owner, Daniel, was in the midst of welcoming his new son while we were having our event!

Our next Tex-Mex event will be our traditional Summer Fiesta margarita and fajita garden party - a family in-home event.  
 
We hope to see yal again soon. Until then, our warm Tex-Mex wishes,
 
Elaine & Ingrid

<![CDATA[Thanksgiving Pot-Luck Charity Brunch]]> http://www.awcduesseldorf.org/?cl=awcd&mi=6&mi2=1&mi3=1&so=1&ca=news&ni=1&ci=3971 Thank you so much to all of the ladies who took time out of their busy holiday schedules to join us for our 1st ever, Thanksgiving Pot-Luck Charity Brunch!  We had a lovely time talking about everything under the stars.  And I have to admit, some tables had conversations that went way beyond the stars.

We were able to collect so many items for charity, that Barbara Bühling had a difficult time finding space for herself in her own car.  So a big thanks to Barbara for volunteering to transport all of those donated goods.

The food was wonderful and the sparkling wine wasn't bad either.

If you missed out on today, not to worry, we will be planning more events.  So we are looking forward to seeing you next time.

Happy Thanksgiving!

<![CDATA[Longstanding Members St. Martin's Gans Dinner]]> http://www.awcduesseldorf.org/?cl=awcd&mi=6&mi2=1&mi3=1&so=1&ca=news&ni=1&ci=3982 The Longstanding Members had their first evening event with partners on Friday, November 11th.  We decided to have this first event be in honor of St. Martin's.  18 people enjoyed a traditional St. Martin's Goose Dinner at the Düsseldorf Restaurant Zum Schiffchen in the Altstadt. Everyone seemed to enjoy the delicious goose, complete with all the trimmings, great beer and even better conversation.   Most of the Longstanding Members feel that we should make it a tradition to have an annual event involving our significant others.

<![CDATA[New regulation for those with foreign driver's license]]> http://www.awcduesseldorf.org/?cl=awcd&mi=6&mi2=1&mi3=1&so=1&ca=news&ni=1&ci=3554 As of July 1, 2011, it will only be legal to drive in Germany with a foreign driver's license IF the licensed driver is at least 18 years of age. This will apply to under age 18 residents here, as well as those tourists visiting.

It is also important to note that it is a criminal offense for someone to drive on German roads without a valid license and may also later result in a German driver's license not being granted as well as their insurance company not paying their accident claims or the driver being required to reimburse the insurance company a portion of any third-party claims they pay.
