POP After Hours - Galileo's Bar & Café
|
Want to learn how to become more involved in the High
Country Women's Fund and affect positive change for women and their families in
Avery and Watauga Counties? We are holding an event for that very opportunity for those
interested on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at Galileo's Bar & Café.
We encourage you to come and to bring either a paper product for OASIS
or professional spring clothing for the Professional Women's Clothes Closet. HCWF conducts service project - "Dress for Success" - which supports women
choosing clothing that increases self confidence while job searching. Your
donation at Galileo's entitles you to one free beverage!
The POP event will be lively, educational, fun, and
community oriented. HCWF members will be available to share how your time,
talent or treasures can make an impact in our community.
Thank you to Anne, the owner, for opening up her doors for such a great cause. Light appetizers will be served to the tune of ways you can make a difference in someone's life that needs it.

Featured Agency: Hospitality House
|
|
 Hospitality House assists adults and families in homeless
situations. They offer shelter, food, counseling and social work coordination to support folks getting back on their feet. It opened in
1985 and has had several expansions over the last few years. This year, HCWF
donated $10,000.00 to build a new suite for women and children within a larger
building of several suites. The total designation to Hospitality House from HCWF is $40,000, which we are very proud to allocate to them over a four year span. The new building
is specialized for families and provides a separate space for a safe and child
friendly environment.
