When most Americans hear the word “homecoming”, we often think of high school or college days when alumni are invited back in the autumn, to participate in a series of school-based activities (which nearly always include a big football game).
The American Club of Sweden is happy to announce its own version of homecoming, with an offering of exciting events spread over four days!
October 15th – American Club and Fulbright Commission join forces at monthly Third Thursday Mingle
October 16th – Kids Playdate with The American Club at Högalids Hedgehogs English playgroup
October 17th – Consensus Gospel Brunch to raise money for Cancer Research at HardRock Cafe Stockholm
October 18th – Walking Tour of Gamla Stan with The American Club
Thursday, October 15th, 17:30 – 19:30
Third Thursday networking evening, this month in cooperation with U.S. Embassy Sweden and the Swedish office of The Fulbright Commission
Come join us for our monthly Third Thursday and mingle with the Fulbright community, US Embassy representatives and our usual healthy crowd (over 50 last month!) of members and guests.
At October’s mingle, we will welcome recently-landed Americans, Swedes who have just returned from US studies, as well as Swedes who are just entering the Fulbright Program for departure to the US next year.
Unfortunately, Ambassador Matthew Barzun has been called away last-minute on other business so will be unable to join us Thursday, as earlier promoted. We look forward to meeting him at another event soon.
Two beverages and appetizers, 150 SEK for members and guests, all welcome, please arrive early, registration details here.
