On September 30th, we held our very first “Raise a Glass for a Cause” event and we had a great turnout. We ushered in the new event, by emphasizing the importance of your support and continued effort, which helps provide scholarship awards to our Swiss/American students.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Julie Schramm and Stephanie Heggli-Nonay, who have been scholarship recipients for several years. They have graciously shared their stories and the impact the scholarships have had on their education and why it is so important to continue the fundraising efforts for future awardees.

The silent auction was a success as well, and our attendees enjoyed some great Swiss w**e and charcuterie boards.

We would like to express our gratitude for attending the evening and for your continued support.

We look forward to our next event, the Fondue Dinner in November and our next “Raise a Glass for a Cause” event in January, so stay tuned and stay connected.

Understanding Homecare

There may be a need for home care now or in the future. 

Do you know how to navigate the complexities?

There are many different types of home care and our very own Elise Feuerstein Karras, who is a licensed social worker, will be walking us through this topic to help us get a better understanding as to what home care is and how to navigate it when time comes to consider it as an option. 

Listen to our teaser and stay tuned for Part 1 of a 4 part series that we are excited to share with our community.

Dear Members, Family & Friends,

With the cooler days and the holidays slowly approaching, we wanted to share a quick 4 question survey about the NYC Marathon happening early November.

We are trying to get an idea, who is interested, and who will be participating in this year's or in next year’s NYC marathon?

We would love to get your feedback!

On August 1st, the Swiss community came together from near and far to celebrate our Swiss traditions with family and friends again at the Hudson.

It was a day filled with camaraderie, sunshine, Swiss traditional food and w**e. There was something for everyone.

The Swiss Benevolent Society NY was right there celebrating with their Swiss community. We invited people to visit our table, had a chance to catch up with old and new friends.

The day was truly amazing. If you are still in the mood to celebrate, we invite you to join us this Thursday for our annual August 1st dinner at the The Lavaux . Today is the last day to sign-up! Link in our bio.

Thank you to Swiss Society of New York , Consulate General of Switzerland in New York , Swiss Soccer Club NYC & Swiss Ski Club of New York for creating another wonderful yearly event.

And thank you to those who took the time to stop by our table to say “Grüzi, Bonjour, Buongiorno & Allegra!

We look forward to more gatherings! 🇨🇭
