Welcome to the Philippines! Our Hospitality Committee welcomes each new member into our organization, by helping you get involved. These ladies have information that will help you get in touch with a book club, scrap booking group, or even info on where to take your favorite sport lesson or language class. The Hospitality Committee also hosts monthly Newcomers Coffee’s held each 4th Wednesday of the month. These gatherings are especially nice to meet fellow newcomers as well as AWCP Board Members. Newcomers Coffee’s are a smaller setting than that of our General Meeting and thus allows a more comfortable setting to ask questions. Twice a year the Hospitality team hosts cocktail parties, one of which will be held at the US Ambassador’s residence, and is a great memory to have of living in the Philippines. General Meetings are held the 2 nd Wednesday of each month, and they are open to all membership. We are treated to a traditional American breakfast and a different guest speaker each month. Once again, Welcome to the Philippines, and the American Women’s Club. We hope to see you soon. For more information please contact us at newcomers@awcphilippines.org |

For any newcomer to Manila, you are faced with so many new issues – where do I find clothes that fit me? How do I negotiate a fair staff contract? What are the best schools to send my children to? Why do local people never seem to say no? To answer these questions, two expat women have pooled their knowledge of Manila and expat life into a new book called Arrival Survival.
ARRIVAL SURVIVAL: A new book in town What’s what and where can you find it in Manila? ARRIVAL SURVIVAL has the answers to these and many other questions. This indispensable guide is not only for those newly arrived in Manila, it’s also for those who have lived here for a while and who may have missed something! Packed with useful information, humorous anecdotes, helpful hints, detailed lists, and recommended websites, this handbook is sure to help everyone cope with every-day life here. ARRIVAL SURVIVAL has been updated for the Manila of today from its former title, the Hospitality International Guidebook, published frequently by the Union Church of Manila over the past 20 years. Laugh and learn with us as you discover how “Yes” can mean so much more than “Yes”, how size matters (you may suddenly become an extra large alien) or how your helper may not always do things the way you would do them (DVDs arranged by color). Read about time-saving tips, clues on climate, coping with critters and how to achieve domestic bliss (not the marital kind!), written by a team of people with a wealth of experience accumulated during their years in the Philippines. Find the ARRIVAL SURVIVAL newcomer’s handbook on sale at any of the following: AWCP Bazaars, offices and Newcomer Coffee Mornings; BWA Monthly Meetings and Coffee Mornings; Brent International Schools; Union Church of Manila Wishing you insightful reading, |
