| Greetings! |  Well, hello! Time sure does fly, so we're finally filling you in on the latest happenings since TWM's Spring 2010 eNewsletter and what's in store ahead.
In May we presented our second annual TWM's World of Wellness, offering you all sorts ways to stay healthy and fit, and in March and September we held two sold out Visioning Workshops. We're now offering them three times a year - read below for all the details and summaries...
And of course we've continued to offer you a daily dose of TWM through our blog, CHICKS ROCK! , the place for each of you to read about, comment on and even write your own post about topics relating to diversity and personal growth. (Be sure to subscribe via email or feed - and if you have your own blog, let us know so we can cross-post and send you some Link Love!)
This Fall we are pleased to begin a new program for young women called TWM on Campus at Queens College with our fabulous new intern Agnes Eshak. And this week we'll be starting our second annual TWM's 2010 Virtual Holiday Bazaar so you can do some of your holiday shopping with women-owned and friendly businesses! Speaking of time flying, January 24th 2011 will be our 10th anniversary!! Our first event was a Chinese New Year Celebration with 30 women - we have since offered over 95 events to a community that has grown to nearly 5000! We're not sure exactly how we'll be celebrating, so email us with any ideas or if you would like to be involved. In the meantime, thank you for being a part of making us into what we are today and be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to stay connected to each other and all that we do! TWM is extremely proud of the opportunities we have offered for women to learn more about themselves and the world around them, and how our website, TWM eNewsletters, and CHICKS ROCK! enable women to further connect to themselves each other and the world around them.
As a small grass-roots nonprofit organization, we want to continue offering live events and other exciting programs, but cannot do so without significant financial resources. If you have been on our list for some time and enjoy reading these eNewsletters, or if you are just learning about TWM and support who we are and what we do and would like to see it continue and grow - please show it with your financial support .

ANNOUNCING: TWM ON CAMPUS - QUEENS COLLEGE
|
TWM ON CAMPUSBeginning Fall 2010
 The Women's Mosaic has ventured to the realm of university student life with our launch of TWM on Campus at Queens College. We're excited for its introductory year and the debut event that will bring women leaders of different faiths to talk about what faith and community mean for them. Spearheading TWM on Campus is our intern, Agnes Eshak. Agnes is a student at the Macaulay Honors College at CUNY Queens. She is majoring in Urban Studies with a minor in both Mathematics and Religious Studies. "There's something magical about women getting together, especially at a TWM event. The intimacy, the honesty, the self-discovery, and just plain fun, is all so meaningful. Particularly significant to me, however, is meeting women of all ages, who are experiencing different stages of their life. These glimpses have helped me redefine strength and success, qualities that I've seen among all the TWM women. After a TWM event like the Visioning Workshop, I always feel inspired to do something, more importantly, to be something. I can't help but rave about The Women's Mosaic and what it stands for. It's about unity. It's not about forming some sort of ideological consensus or rallying for a certain issue. It's about coming together, learning from each other, enjoying what we each have to offer, and encouraging growth on all sides. Being a part of a community like this is invaluable and I'm so excited to bring it to Queens College." ~Agnes Eshak
