ASB Membership _________________ Did you know that you don't have to be American to be a member of the American Society? The membership of the American Society of Barcelona is a wonderful mixture of nationalities; we are about half American and half European, the largest group of Europeans being Catalan. What draws most people to our organization is a desire to be involved in the English speaking community of Barcelona, both for social interaction and business networking. We sponsor a variety of gatherings throughout the year such as business luncheons, cultural outings, traditional American and local events and celebrations, informative speeches and much more. Would you like to volunteer? The American Society is a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers. If you have ideas you’d like to share let us know! As always, we look forward to hearing from you; and, if you have a little time, we’d love to have you pitch in. The American Society only exists because of the wonderful, talented people who volunteer their time and resources. So, if you have an idea about how you’d like to improve the American Society, don’t be shy, jump right in! It’s a lot of fun and a great way to meet people in the community. Refund Policy _________________ In order to cancel a reservation for an event, please contact ad......@amersoc.com at least 48 hours prior to an event. During peak holiday or conference periods cancellation and amendment charges may occasionally vary due to some hotels or venues having more strict cancellation policies that the ASB must assume. In these cases we will state it clearly on the website. It is the policy of the ASB not to provide any refunds for cancellations unless the party communicates their decision in writing via email to ad......@amersoc.com at least 48 hours prior to an event. In order to organize activities, the American Society is asked to make financial commitments on behalf of its membership and guests. When people sign up and register for ASB activities, the Society makes advanced payment to venues, hotels, transportation services, caterers, support staff, etc. Signing up for an event also hinders others from attending when there is limited capacity for an event. The ASB is a non-profit organization managed by a volunteer staff, and we are delighted to host events of interest to the American and English speaking community of Barcelona. We appreciate your understanding. We not only look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events, we would love to have you support us in managing an event. Thank you. BECOME A MEMBER

Aparcaivola Sponsors the ASB!
In our continuing roll of attracting new sponsors to the American Society, we are pleased to announce that Aparcaivola ("park and fly" in Catalan) has joined the American Society as a Silver Sponsor.
This innovative (to Barcelona at least) park & fly service is a great alternative to AENA's more expensive airport parking. Aparcaivola offers better rates for parking at El Prat: €9.95 per day up to 7 days, €5.45 per day thereafter, with regular fast and efficient shuttles to the airport, and can even include a car wash. They also offer covered parking with shuttle service from the Sants train station as well as a "Park and Cruise" service for those sailing from the Barcelona Port. For more information please contact Aparcaivola at +34 93 370 47 65 or check their website http://www.aparcaivola.com/en/index. We welcome Aparcaivola to the ASB and look forward to seeing company founder Jaime Escamilla at upcoming events. Thanks for your support! We're on Twitter!
