In
March 2004, Kirsten attended a FAWCO (Federation of American Women's Clubs Overseas) Conference
in The Hague. |

|
 |
|
| A
highlight of the conference was a reception at the Delft Town Hall, hosted by the Mayor of
Delft. Here, Irmingard Zahn, Kirsten, and Frauke Rademacher-Heidemann pause for a photo. |

American Women's Club of the Hague clubhouse. A former grand residence, it has more than 11
rooms including a library, gift shop, nursery, and cafe. |

 |
|
| The
conference kicked off with a Welcome Reception & Dutch Handicraft and Trade Fair featuring
artisans from all different disciplines, including the Royal Delft pottery painter above.
Other booths included a diamond seller (who also cleaned everyone’s rings -- a big hit!),
a Gouda wafel stand, and a stand with original pen and ink sketches. |
|
| The
attendees from the American Women's Club of Hamburg (Frauke Rademacher -Heidemann, Kirsten,
Irmingard Zahn, Becky Tan, and Barbara Hanley-Meyer) gather in all their finery for a final
photo. |

| One
of the highlights of every FAWCO conference are the in-home dinners, hosted by members of
the hosting American Women's Club. Kirsten attended an in-home dinner hosted by AWC the Hague
member Lamia Nader (far right) and her husband. Also attending were FAWCO Counselor Kay Miller
(far left), FAWCO Citizenship chair Dorothy S tage (center), and Helen McNulty (second from
right). |

artisan at the Dutch Handicraft fair, a wooden shoemaker. Also featured at the Reception were
typical Dutch cocktail treats -- yum! |
