The Seoul International Women’s Association (SIWA) will present “March Coffee Morning” and its annual general meeting at Conrad Seoul on March 19.
“We will take the time to review the past year and look forward to the incoming one; thank our volunteers; learn about SIWA’s finances and contributions to supported charities; enjoy a fun activity while having a delicious coffee morning,” the association said.
In addition to the annual general meeting, the organization will have a short presentation from First Steps, one of the unique organizations that is fighting malnutrition in North Korea.
SIWA is Seoul’s premier international women’s organization, consisting of women from over 40 countries, including about 25 percent from Korea.
For more than 50 years, SIWA has been a place where women from around the world could meet, find friends, learn about each other’s cultures and improve the lives of those less fortunate in Korea.
Coffee Mornings are one of the core activities of SIWA, an occasion when all members come to enjoy topical lectures, panel discussions and special events over a cup of coffee or tea and snacks. It is a chance to reconnect with other members, make new friends and share information.
The event is organized by the Hospitality Chair to provide information about Korea, current affairs, culture, fun and issues of interest to all.
The event will be from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. For more information about Coffee Mornings, please email hospitality@siwapage.com.
