"CAWC is a network of friendly faces, all of whom were ready to help with my adjustment to the expatriate lifestyle."
Welcome to the Chilterns American Women’s Club. We are a group of North American and International women who call this area home, either temporarily or permanently. Our club offers the opportunity to network with other transplants to the Chilterns through meetings, outings, social occasions and charitable events. We are a great resource to newcomers and our returning members have made lifelong friendships and connections. We hope you look forward to joining us soon.
More about us:
