The American Society of São Paulo (AmSoc) promotes friendship by organizing social, cultural and athletic events for its diverse membership; encourages integration with the Brazilian society and supports the American traditions of education, philanthropy and volunteerism. Membership is open not only to Americans, but to anyone from any country.
The current President, Richard Wegman and the Vice President, Judy Zanchi, lead a 20 person Board that oversees the association of over 800 members. To join, simply access AmSoc’s site and chose the type of membership you want: Single (R$300), Family (R$400) or Helping Hands (R$800- half of the membership fee goes directly to an AmSoc sponsored charity).
When becoming a member, you and your family will receive ten printed newsletters per year mailed to your home, and will have access to a private AmSoc Facebook page.

Throughout all these activities, the American Society helps the American community to mingle in São Paulo. One of the annual events promoted by the association volunteers is the Angel Party, a beautiful charity event for over 200 children from several charity institutions. Another type of activity represented the beginning of IntheKnow: the first trip to Inhotim, in Minas Gerais, which had more than 18 participants and was organized by AmSoc members. “It was an unforgettable trip, which was the start point to many friendships and lasting partnerships!” shared the Intheknow co-founder Claudia Kiatake.
