Our club was begun in 1956 as a monthly coffee held in members' homes. As the group grew too large for anyone's living room, meetings were held in restaurants and we became the American Women's Luncheon Club. Now our interests, as the American Women's Club, have widened to include more than just eating and socializing. In spite of all the adjustments of a growing group, we've tried never to lose sight of our goal, which was and is to help Americans adjust to life in Hamburg and to feel at home here.
