Social

To further its goal of promoting relations between the United States and Australia, the American Australian Association conducts vibrant and extensive social programs. The monthly social reception is an excellent opportunity for networking with the American Australian community in New York.  This is generally held on the first Thursday of the month at the Australian Consulate in midtown Manhattan.

The highlight of the Association's social year is the Annual Australia Day Black Tie Gala held in late January. This is a black tie affair at a premier venue in New York. Valuable prizes are auctioned or raffled to raise funds for charitable and philanthropic programs of the Association.

Other events on the social calendar include our wine tastings, The Annual Corporate Golf Tournament, The Martini Party and The Melbourne Cup Evening with a live feed of the famous horse race in Australia.

Recently, we celebrated the formation of the American Australian Association Wine club, in conjunction with Morrell Wine.  The AAA Wine Club offers wine club members three levels of membership as well as the option to attend complementary wine tastings.

Our Australian Women In New York (AWNY) provides a support group for Australian women and it continues to grow with monthly networking and discussion groups featuring guest speakers. Educational social and cultural tours are also a part of the AWNY programs.
