Special Events

Three special events make up the high points of the club year:

The awarding of the Elisabeth Norgall Prize to a woman who has carried out special works to help other women. Since 1978 this prize has been awarded on a rotation basis to Germans and foreign nationals. The prize consists of a medal and a financial award and is handed over each year in March at a festive ceremony. This ceremony is not only highly appreciated by members of the IWC but also attracts great interest amongst the various media who give wide coverage to the award winner and her work.

The Christmas Tea at the Frankfurt Römer, in the magnificent Kaiser Saal, is where the IWC members gather each December with guests and friends to enjoy home made specialities. The donations from this occasion are divided between the senior citizens’ homes of Kronthal and Hohenwald which the club has cared for over many years.

The IWC shows a leg at the annual International Friendship Ball at the beginning of the year where for a change the help of male partners is appreciated . The funds raised at this event are donated to a charitable or cultural organisation.

Club Year 2009: This year a Swiss lady, Lotti Latrous, received the award.
