Once every three years, an International Congress is held, each time in a different country and with a different central theme, concerning women.
International Congresses have been organized in the Netherlands three times, in 1929 (The Hague), in 1977 and in 2016 in Amsterdam. In the years between the congresses, cultural meetings are organized, also in a different country each time.
The clubs often maintain contact with a sister club abroad.

On behalf of the Federation,
Madeleine van der Vlist.

Accommodation with 15% reduction (for Lyceum club members) in the ‘Dutch Masters Amsterdam’ on the Keizersgracht, Amsterdam

Research in connection with the forthcoming centenary celebrations of the Amsterdam club and the associated centenary book has brought to light some interesting facts.

A great surprise is that behind the façade of 580 Keizersgracht is an apartment hotel, ‘the Dutch Masters Amsterdam’. From 1924 to 1971 this building was the clubhouse of the Amsterdam Lyceum Club. Despite having a different function now this former clubhouse gladly offers hospitality to all Lyceum Club members. The authors of the Centenary Book have had a look behind the scenes and the manager of the hotel has offered a 15% discount on the price of the apartments to Lyceum Club members worldwide.

Spread the word, visit the website www.dutch-master.com, and when booking, don’t forget to mention that you’re a member of the (International) Lyceum Club!
