I was tempted to start this post with a ‘Spring is in the Air’ theme, and then New York made a liar of me and started snowing. Still, looking out the window right now and along Madison Avenue, it does feel like the warmer weather is almost upon us. And that means lots of AWNY events, AAA events, and general fun going on in this great city.
Top picks this month are the New York Historical Library tour with AWNY, the AAA March Reception, and the Affordable Art Fair private tour. All details and links to tix listed below.
The AWNY Committee love to fill the ‘What’s On’ list with events that have an Australian connection. Not only does it inform our AWNY members of Aussie happenings around NYC, it supports fellow Aussies through increased awareness, attendance, and support. But we need you help! If you’ve got an event coming up that will appeal to our members, please let us know as we would be delighted to include it in the monthly What’s On list. Email your event details to awny@aaanyc.org.
Have a great March!
