Hi all! This is Marjorie and Deb here, and we couldn’t wait to share our reactions to yesterday with everyone!
Wow, talk about change! Having experienced yesterday’s Leadership Luncheon, we can’t believe how much things have changed—how much bigger it is, how packed that room was with women and men supporting our region’s women and girls, the amount of money ($1 MILLION!!!) we’re able to commit, together, to building our community!
And yet, so much has stayed the same—the power of the inspiration within that room, the wisdom of our speakers and leaders within our community of philanthropists, the buzz and energy of more than 1,500 people talking about changing lives, changing themselves, and how they feel about being a part of The Power of Giving Together—about really doing something in our community!
What a rush!
As the board chair and interim president of The Women’s Foundation, we want to thank everyone who attended the luncheon yesterday for your support, for thinking seriously about the power of empowering our women and girls, for putting your dollars and your time and your talent behind the work we’re doing, and for joining us to celebrate how far we’ve come, and for your commitment to support how much further we can go, together!
For those of you who weren’t able to attend, we hope you’ll still join us on the powerful wave of philanthropy that was ignited yesterday yet again, and get involved in the work we’re doing together!
There are three ways that anyone can get involved—whether you already know The Women’s Foundation or are just getting started. To learn more, click here, and join The Power of Giving Together!
And thanks again to all of you who made yesterday such a powerful success! We continue to be inspired by all you do, and will carry that spirit with us as we move forward, onward and upward in our work on behalf of and with the women and girls in our area!
The future is wide open, and with you all, we’re running full speed into it!
With all our best wishes and thanks,
Deb Gandy and Marjorie Sims
Board Chair Interim President
