Good communication between the board

members and the membership of the WAC is

important for the continued growth and

improvement of the club. If you have any

concerns or questions, please feel free to contact

Dear Reader,

Welcome back. Every new school year, the same feeling

overcome me as I walk into the WAC: Comfort. The

comfort of a well worn sweater. The front garden is nothing

but ordinary. However, with kids of all ages playing together

round the tree and the billboard post, whilst mothers are sat

on the bench catching up with each other lives. There is

something positively comforting about the place. The banner

& balloons welcoming you in are just another proof of the

care and warmth of our WAC..

This edition is all about the wonderful projects that an

amazing group of volunteers have put together for

us. Noticeable are the new Men sport group( p8) , Zumba

and a new younger Girls club group ( p10 ). Boys are not left

out as their club is still in full swing. So how about giving it a

try? Our playgroup coordinator, Dana Levy Hoffmann, has

sensibly thought of the perfect craft project to occupy your

younger ones on a wet day (p19). Speaking of wet days, what

about a big fall clear out and joining us at our Kid's flea

market? Every year, I am on the lookout for budding writers

to contribute to our newsletter, so be inspired and join our

wonderful team. Speaking of team, the WAC has its own team

running this Sunday at the Pink Ribbon charity race.

All these wonderful activities are all well within your reach,

just check the notices board and sign up for what take your

fancy. Happy reading.

COM‘S CORNER

You can join The WAC Group on Facebook. Just look us up, and send a request to be added!

Dear fellow WAC members,

Welcome back to the WAC, and to a new

school term!

The summer holidays flew by - I hope

you all had as good a summer as we did. Now we’re busy getting settled into a

new rhythm - and if anyone can tell me why kids wake up early during the holi-

days, but as soon as school starts need to be dragged out of bed every morning,

please do let me know!

Thanks to the fabulous WAC board la-

dies, the WAC looked bright and welcom-ing as we came back. We met on the

Saturday before term started to put up a

fantastic banner, made by Angie and some of the budding artists at the Thurs-

day playgroup, a poster created by Susan and her twins Thomas & Mathilda,

and lots of colorful balloons from April. A special thanks also to Ana who climbed

out on to the upstairs roof to hang out the banner!

We would like to extend a very warm welcome to all our new members - we

hope you feel quickly at home at the WAC. And of course it’s great to see the

familiar faces of our regular members as well.

New this term are Zumba classes for

adults, run by Ana Wyman. As yet, sign up is a bit thin which is a great shame,

as Ana tells me that Zumba is all about dancing, having fun and doing your own

thing - it sounds like fun. We plan to start the course but need more partici-

pants to keep it going, so if you’re inter-ested to have a free trial class please let

us know.

A big thank you is owed to Angie Me-

nendez, our Marketing Board member, who has created a fun and colorful photo

board of the WAC board and chairper-sons. Come and take a look, and see

what inspirational words we all came up

with!

Last but certainly not least, my husband

Stefan will be leading the first men’s sports morning on Saturday, September

24th. Originally he planned an evening event, but as the nights are already get-

ting darker he thought a quick burst of sport, once a month on a Saturday

morning, would be a good starting point. Further details are in an advert in this

month’s WOT. So come on gentlemen, it’s your club too - come and have some

fun!

Hope to see you at the WAC soon.

We now have 3 ESL (English as a second language) classes – from level 1 -3. ESL 2 and 3 are offered on Wednesday afternoons.

Would you like to know more? Well, the teachers and I will be here on September 21 for an information evening. You will meet the teachers and get to see the classrooms and resources that we will be using. We will let you know what our plans are for the year ahead.

Another successful „venture‟ is our Lunch Club. It runs on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are still spaces available and if you are interested, please contact Jennifer at [email protected] or me.

Our PTA (Parent Teacher Association)needs new members! Gwen, who has headed the PTA this past school year can only be with us until the end of this year.

Lastly, I would like to thank all the teachers for coming in over the holidays to prepare the classrooms, school and lessons for the incoming school year. They are incredible!

Giving You a Head Start with Getting Settled in Zurich

www.readysteadyrelocate.com

Corporate and Public Seminars, Private Consultations

by Tracey Keenan

AU REVOIR!

It was very odd last week not taking my chil-

dren to the WAC. When I look back, we have

been going there since the year 2000 - starting

with the Friday morning playgroup!

Arriving in Switzerland during the Summer of

2000, I was having panic attacks about how I

was going to make friends and meet people.

Although I was not new to relocating, this time

was different - I was expecting my first baby

and not going to meet my friends through work

or sport as I had done so before. I picked up

the book “Living in Switzerland” and looked at

the long list of clubs available and noticed

there was one nearby in Volketswil called the

Women‟s Activity Club. To be honest, I was put

off by the name, what on earth could that be?

No website in those days, I made the phone

call and arranged to drop by during the Friday

morning Moms n Tots playgroup - the only

playgroup running at the WAC in those days! I

was welcomed with open arms in the “little

green hut” although I had no “Tot” to bring to

the playgroup, just a big bump! I continued to

go to the playgroup with bump and as soon as

Thomas was born - in November 2000 - I intro-

duced him in person to the WAC. It was perfect

for me and I soon became the Friday play-

group leader, taking over from somebody who

had relocated. Conor was born soon after in

January 2002 and he instantly became a WAC

member whether he liked it or not, making his

debut as well at the Friday morning playgroup.

Even now when we drive to Volketswil past the

place where the WAC‟s “little green hut” used

to be, I reminisce and the boys have no idea

what I am going on about! Do you know why I

still reverse park into the WAC parking spaces

even today? This was a requirement at the

“little green hut” in Volketswil so that you could

be careful of the little ones when leaving, can

you imagine asking that of the Migros shoppers

now in the Uster car park?!

My children naturally went through the pre-

school programme - Bambis, Butterflies, Owls -

and even up until July when I would collect

Conor from the R/W class, I would chat with

Yvonne outside her classroom and we would

laugh as we reminisced how Thomas (then 2)

used to break down in tears not only when I left

him at the Bambi class with her but also when I

returned to pick him up! Now Thomas (10) is

the same height as her!

We are now about to relocate - not far, down

the road to Lausanne - and I wanted to say a

big thank you to Ida, Yvonne, Mahjabeen and

Sangeeta for having provided such a wonderful

programme for my boys. I am and have always

been impressed to see how many teachers are

there as long as we have been - a good sign

for any school.

I will always remember the WAC as a place

where I met my good friends. Although a few of

them have since moved on, my good friends

who I am leaving behind are friends I made at

the Friday morning playgroup way back in the

years 2000-2003.

With best wishes - Tracey Keenan

Thank you for your support. Hope to see you

at the library some day.

Warm Regards,

HELPERS REQUIRED!

The summer holidays are truly over - even if we

only just got the summer weather! The start of a

new school year means that It's time for most of

us to establish a new routine at home - and also

at the WAC. As part of organising the Interior /

Exterior running at the WAC I have had to bid a

fond farewell to a few of my fantastic helpers who

have moved on to other things and some to

other countries. Special thanks for all their help

goes to Kate Taylor for recycling and towel

washing and Elke Schmahl for weekly cleaning of

the coffee machine - best wishes for the future to

you both!

This leaves me with a gap in helpers and I am

looking to find a couple of volunteers willing to

take just a few minutes each week to help out with these tasks. Sign up sheets are in place on the

main Notice Board, take a look and perhaps a few of you will consider helping out just a little,

cumulatively the effects can be great!

A Great Rainy Day Activity

How often do you wake up to a rainy day, and

have no idea how to keep your little ones busy at

home? Well, all that may change once you try

homemade slime. It will keep both you and your

whole family busy for hours, and if used correctly,

could actually clean your bath tub! It will turn solid

when you grab it, and become slime when let go. I

must admit, I could play with this stuff for hours,

and all you need is cornstarch and some water.

Here‟s what you do:

Materials: 1 1/2 cup Cornstarch

1/2 cup Tap Water

Food Coloring (optional)

Liquid Extracts (optional)

Empty Container

Instructions

1. Mix: Add cornstarch and water to container of

choice. Empty food containers (yogurt, sour cream,

food storage containers) work great. Stir super-

gently with a fork, the mixture will come together,

but if you stir too quickly, the cornstarch will make

things difficult (think quick-sand) and the water

won't fully absorb. Mixture should be firm when

mixed quickly with a fork and will crumble, while

liquid when a finger is pushed slowly to the surface.

2. Stir In Additives: If you'd like, you may add in

a few drops of food coloring or baking extracts to

make things a little more colorful and smelly. (they

may also be added to the water before mixing, but

truth be told, we always forget)

3. Ready, Set, Play!: "Clean Slime" is a great

outdoor or bathtub activity. If less is made (or

smaller portions are used... think Dixie cup size),

it's easily played with on any sealed piece of

furniture. The mixture simply wipes up when

finished.. Our favorite place to turn kids loose with

it, however, is the bathroom. Plunk a kid down in

an empty bathtub and let them go to town hitting,

slapping and picking up the slime to watch it melt

between their fingers and return to liquid. When

finished, simply rinse off!

4. Store: This mixture keeps in an airtight

container forever. If it dries out, simply add a little

extra water and stir to combine.

Additional Notes This mixture can be "eyeballed" in any amount. If

you'd like to only make a super small amount,

simply add a few tablespoons of cornstarch and

add water a few drops at a time! If it's too wet, add

more cornstarch, too dry, add more water — it's

as easy as that! Thinner mixtures can also be used

as liquid sidewalk chalk paint!

One important note: rather than tossing it down

the sink, leave in the container and let warm water

run on it for a while, that way you won‟t clog your

sink. Oh, and if you do decide to let little ones help

you clean the bath tub, make sure they play with it

when there is no water in the tub, otherwise you

might have a hard time pulling them out of there.

Enjoy those rainy days!

A seasonal quick light supper along a nice mixed

leaves salad. Zucchini Fritters

Ingredients 4 small or 2 medium zuc-

chinis (about 350g)

1 tbsp plain flour

2 eggs, beaten

1 tbsp finely chopped herbs

(mint and chives or thyme)

The zest of 1 lemon

1 clove of garlic, finely

chopped

2 spring onions, peeled and

shredded

Olive oil

Recipe

Grate the zucchinis coarsely. If you have time, salt

and leave them to drain in a colander. Take a clean

tea towel and place the zucchinis pulp in the mid-

dle. Wring the tea towel out over the sink. The pulp

should collect in a fat bulb, and a surprising amount

of water will come out. Place the flour in a bowl

and add the beaten eggs, herbs, lemon

zest, garlic, spring onions and zuc-

chinis. Season with sea salt and pep-

per.

Heat a large frying-pan with a couple

of tablespoons of olive oil. When the

oil is hot, take a heaped tablespoon of

the zucchinis mixture and drop it into

the pan, flattening it out slightly with

the back of the spoon. Don’t muck

about with it until the bottom is golden

brown (a couple of minutes) or the

whole thing will disintegrate. Flip it over with a

spatula and give each fritter a couple of minutes

before draining on a plate lined with paper towel .
