"The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.” – Shirley MacLaine


Outbound Journey to FF Norderstedt, Germany

Eleven ambassadors (including one member from FF Chicago) travelled to Norderstedt.  The journey started on September 9th and ended on the 16th. 

Pictured above is our group and our hosts at the FF Norderstedt Monument.  We enjoyed a wonderful program featuring walking tours of Hamburg and Lubeck, a concert at the Elbphilharmonie, an Elbe River ferry ride and a visit to Miniatur Wunderland which is a must see for anyone visiting the Hamburg area.  Of course, our journey's highlight was the time spent with the FF Norderstedt hosts and members.  We look forward to seeing them again in the future!


In October, FFLA will welcome ambassadors from FF Chiang Mai, Thailand (Oct. 22 to Oct. 29).  Co-HCs Sharon Lavenberg and Judy Francis continue to work with Chiang Mai Ambassador Coordinator.  Please watch for event announcement emails.  If you have any questions, reach out to either Sharon or Judy.


In November, we will have an important members only meeting.  We will be discussing the direction of our club.  It is critical that you attend to give your input.  An announcement will be sent with the specific details.

As always, we welcome your involvement and interest; your participation is vital to keeping our club healthy.  

In friendship,

Sumi Arnheim, FFLA Leadership Team Chair
