Why I am an ÖAG member
I've always had a connection to the Austro-American society through the stories of my deceased husband regarding the CARE program. As a small child he found his first „chocolate“ in a CARE-package. Chocolate remained for him until his death something "from the sky brought down.

When I first came in touch with the AAS I was joining a class for English - conversation in 1985 because I realized my shrinking language- knowledge which I had from a one year stay in Connecticut in 1972. Then lifechanging things happend and I was too busy to be a member of the AAS. But now, being retired and living a settled life I appreciate very much, having found a social club with the possibility to meet people with american and english affinity and gladly join activities organized by Maria Ganauser for the members of the AAS.

I became acquainted with the society when I was asked to teach English courses there in the late 70s. The opportunity to exchange opinions and cultural traditions, as well as to eliminate false beliefs and prejudice, is positive for both countries. Our program allows Americans away from home to take part in such traditional annual events as Thanksgiving and the 4th of July celebration, while giving Austrians insight into and understanding of American culture and providing a basis to form inter-cultural friendships.
