On 12th October 2018, TheAmerican Women’s Club (AWC)hosted a Texas Night BBQ, which turned out to be both entertaining and time well-spent.
AWC
Founded in the 1960s by American women living in Lagos, AWC is a philanthropic organization which gives back to the immediate environment, most especially to underprivileged children living in the Lagos metropolis. The organization has, over the years, given scholarships to thousands of individuals excelling in their fields.
