We have been selected by the Wild Women 8K Run/Walk to receive the proceeds from this event (thanks to Eva Rosvold of Fundamental Fitness).  This is quite an honor plus incredibly beneficial to our fund.  I have attached the information.  Please consider participating, donating a raffle item and/or goody bag item.   This is a ‘women only’ run/walk on April 3rd.

Wine & Cheese Social
Yvonne Reinsch & Shabri Moore will be treating us with a ‘Members Only’ Wine & Cheese Social sometime this Spring from 5 to 7.   This is simply a fun gathering for the members of the Women’s Giving Circle so there will be no program (no guests please).  More information to follow.
