Who We Are:
Americans in Alsace was founded in 1991 and is a registered association of North Americans living in Alsace and surrounding areas. AIA is financed through membership fees and, in part, by donations through North American corporations operating in the region.
What We Do:
Americans in Alsace functions as a support system by helping individuals and families identify with and integrate into the culture of eastern France. AIA promotes interest and awareness of local lifestyle through various association activities and helps members to develop new friendships and feel connected to the community, fostering a sense of familiarity in new surroundings. We cooperate with other English and French speaking associations, which, in turn, expand our local network.
What We Offer:
Americans in Alsace provides a forum for exchanging information via Monthly Newsletters and an internal email network. We also celebrate North American holidays such as the Fourth of July, Halloween, and Thanksgiving, and organize social gatherings including an annual family cook-out, monthly coffee mornings, weekly preschool children play groups and monthly book club meetings. Other activities are planned each month by the childrens and adult committees. AIA members also receive discounts to English Speaking adult and children's movies at Star Cinemas.
