Library

We have a library of English books for our children. As a member you can borrow 4 books for 3 weeks. The library is located at the Christlicher Treffpunkt in Baar. Any donations of books or funds to support our children’s library are also very welcome.

Mum’s Night Out

The Mums of the playgroups rotate on organizing Mums night out. Mums meet monthly at a restaurant and have a pleasant dinner in the company of other Mums, all without their children.
We normally meet for dinner at 7.00 p.m.


Magazine Swap

Donate any language magazines that you are finished reading. Members can take home any magazine and return it to the club when finished. The program is based on the honor system, so there is no sign out sheet.

Parties

As an International English speaking community living in Switzerland we try to introduce our children to the main holidays in which are celebrated in English speaking countries. Our club organises Halloween and Easter parties for the children, and for the whole family, a Summer Party and a Christmas Party, complete with a visit from Santa for the kids. The list of activities could be increased according to the needs and suggestions of members of the Club

The success of these parties is highly dependant on the number of volunteers that make these wonderful events happen. It is understood that most of us have very busy family lives, jobs outside the home, and other commitments that make the idea of volunteering seem impossible. However, we have the expectation that each member volunteer at least once during the year to help with the planning and execution of the parties. Please find a way to give just a few hours of your time to make our holiday celebrations a great experience for your family.
