Committees: The Oversight Committee is now being co-chaired by Fran Adams. See story below. Both the Research and Oversight Committees have had first meetings and are underway to make 2008 a great year for the Fund. See Our Story and click on How We Work for a list of 2008 committee members and the women who have volunteered for short term projects!

Membership Renewal: The annual membership invitation letter will be mailed Friday, April 18. Please send names and addresses of women who may want to join to info@womensfundsb.org.

Our Fund is very simple—the money raised helps women, children, and families in our community. We have no large overhead, no staff salaries or rent. No fundraising events or silent auctions to plan. No solicitations of your friends and business contacts or dinner tickets or auction items. No contributions to large, national organizations where your money is just another drop in a very large bucket. Instead, we hope you will continue to leverage your philanthropic dollars to impact the most critical needs in our community.

Here are some faces of the women, children and families the Women’s Fund has helped.

From Left: Licensed school-based therapist with counselees from CADA's Youth Service Program. A baby placed in a loving, screened and trained foster family by Angels Foster Care. A teen-led family helped by CALM's Great Beginnings Program. These faces make my day!
