AAFSW's 50th Anniversary Celebration was held Friday, June 4 at the Department of State. The program included a musical play, "You’ve Come a Long Way (while going a long way), Baby!," that was written, directed, and performed by Foreign Service family members. The performance included several hilarious parodies of classic songs that were a huge hit with the audience. For example, this version of "Blowin' in the Wind":
How many tables can one room have
Before we will get a bookcase?
How honest with local officials are we
Before we're shipped home in disgrace?
How will my husband's performance be judged
If my spoons are not in the right place?
The answer, I‘m told, is hidden in the FAM;
The answer is hidden in the FAM.
By popular demand, we are making the script and lyrics to the play available to AAFSW members in PDF format. Visit our Members Only section to download your copies! (Photos and video clips from the performance will be available shortly.)
The AAFSW Professional Fellowships for 2010 have been awarded to five eligible Foreign Service family members. Congratulations to Joshua Halpern, Michelle Cianni, Christine Yonushonis, Adanys Parliament, and Bradley Scott. Read more about the winners and their projects.
