CALL TO ACTION: FINGER FOOD NEEDED FOR THE FRAUENHAUS!


Frauen helfen Frauen is celebrating their 40th Anniversary and needs our help!

They have asked our members to prepare some finger food for their anniversary celebration on Friday, November 10th.

Approximately 100 guests are expected to attend the party that evening and there should be enough food for each to have about 6 pieces. Therefore, we need a lot of helpers!

You will be asked to provide an ingredient card along with each dish to help those with dietary restrictions. Each volunteer will be assigned a specific time on the afternoon/evening of the event to drop off her donations (which will take place at the Württembergischer Kunstverein on Schlossplatz).

If you can help make their party a success by donating some yummy nibbles, please contact Kim via the email address found in the October newsletter or in the private Facebook event associated with this Call To Action.

THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Will you be in town for the long Fathers Day weekend in mid-May? If so, join host Emily Born at the Stuttgart Kunstmuseum on Friday night for a guided tour of their “Shift” exhibit during its closing weekend.

This exhibition was developed by the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart and the museum Marta Herford to explore artistic perspectives on artificial intelligence (AI or KI – Künstliche Intelligenz – in German). The title refers to the shift AI is expected to cause in the human community.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE LOCATION

The Kunstmuseum is the gorgeous glass cube building right in the middle of Schlossplatz, a famous Stuttgart landmark that is often lit up at night with neon signs and adverts. We will meet inside the foyer at 18:15 for our 60 minute tour. Please note that bags and umbrellas larger than an A4 paper will need to be checked at the Garderobe.

The museum is open until 8:00 pm on Friday, so we will have about 30 minutes after the tour is over to check out the regular collection if we wish. Afterwards we can go for an optional drink or a bite to eat.

The cost of this event is €10 per member, paid in advance. The remainder of the tour costs will be sponsored by the IWCS and this is a Round Up For Charity event. All proceeds will benefit Frauen helfen Frauen.
