Nice find Michele!!

Thanks! Maybe it will be helpful, not sure. The International Womens Club here in Torino sounds interesting and possibly fun, but then I read that they charge 55 euro/year for dues, which run only from September to (or through?) June. Yikes! Plus they charge for events. Not sure I can swing it and/or if it is worth it. I think I'll stick to free events for the time being....
