New Friends

Are you New to Bratislava?

First of all, Welcome! We are so excited you are here! As you are settling in, do you need some help figuring out how everything works here? Do you want to know about public transportation, parking, kids's playgrounds, grocery shopping, and more? Would you like a friend to help you navigate life in a new and perhaps very confusing environment?

We want to help make your transition easier and more comfortable. We recently established IWBC's First Friends Program to do just that, and we will match you with a First Friend according to your interests and specific requests (as best we can!). To sign up for First Friends, simply download the New Friends Questionnaire, fill it out, and send it to Jennifer Cummins at iwc.firstfriends@gmail.com. For more information, contact Jennifer at the above email address.

First Friends

Volunteer to help our IWBC's New Members!

Ladies, IWCB needs your help! We have many incoming new members this fall, and we want to help them feel at home in Bratislava. We recently established our First Friends program to help members, who have recently moved to Bratislava, become acclimated and adjusted to their new home. Moving to a new city, let alone to a new country, can be very intimidating, overwhelming and downright scary. Most of us can still remember our first few weeks and months here! Having an instant friend with whom a newcomer has things in common could mean so much for helping someone settle in.

So, please volunteer today to be a First Friend! You will be matched with a new member to help answer her questions, show her how things work and help her become comfortable in her new surroundings. You don't have to be an expert on Bratislava to be a First Friend. If your New Friend asks you something you don't know, simply call one of your friends or any of the board members for the answer. Let’s together make Bratislava a more inviting and enjoyable place to live! To sign up for First Friends, please first read the First Friends Information Sheet for further information on being a First Friend. Then, simply download the First Friends Questionnaire, fill it out, and send it to Jennifer Cummins at iwc.firstfriends@gmail.com. For more information, contact Jennifer at the above email address.

We thank the supporters of this year's Christmas Bazaar:
