1. Thursday, Nov. 23. Silly Santa auction. Our annual contribution to the women of Wings of Providence. This project considers the needs of the women at Christmas. We provide housecoats and several other nice touches for them at this time of year. Wings of Providence is...is a second stage residence, in other words a, 'long stay' (3 or 4 months?) where women and children can get their feet under them--taking courses, getting help with resumes, family living, housekeeping, etc.
A reminder your gifts for auction need a comment, note or poem suggesting what might be beneath the beautiful wrapping!!
Reminder...note from Tony and Mark...
Now there are two great reasons to attend our Club meeting on Thursday, November 23rd: to take part in our Silly Santa Auction (always a great cause) and being in a group photo for our Club. The money raised at the auction will go to support Wings of Providence who care for women and their children seeking shelter for horrible circumstances. The group photo will be used in our package of information for potential partners with our Club. Essentially, the purpose of this information will be used to demonstrate to our potential partners that we will act with integrity when choosing the projects we will support using their donated funds. Our smiling faces in this group photo, along with other evidence of what we do, will help convince our potential partners to trust us. Cheers, Tony & Mark |
2. Thursday, Nov. 30th. General Assembly.
3. A reminder. 2017 Wine Survivor Raffle. Deadline for entries is noon on Nov. 30th. The raffle proceeds are intended to support a new project of our club to support an organization called, Days for Girls. Days for Girls provides support to girls and women by providing sustainable feminine hygiene solutions. This support results in the girls and women to be better able to access education, better health, better opportunity and thus improved freedom. Check the short video.
