happy holidays!    

Employees of The Hartford brought some holiday cheer to children at YWCA Hartford Region's Growing Tree Early Learning Center (see article below for info about our child care programs) with a special visit from Santa and his elves. Each child at the center received a toy, article of clothing and personal photo with Santa. Photo Credit: The Hartford.

Seasons Greetings to you, our Table Captains! This is our 2nd e-newsletter to help you prepare for the 2012 In the Company of Women luncheon. Please take a moment to watch the video and review the helpful tips and information. We will resume our Table Captain communications in early January--counting down the days to the luncheon.

• We hope having a wonderful time with family and friends is at the top of your list.  
  
  Next Week:
   
• Reflect on all the wonderful people who helped you in 2011, make a list of women and men that you would like to invite to the 2012 In the Company of Women luncheon. Your list should include 2-3 times as many people as needed to fill your table commitment; Inevitably, some people will be out of town or otherwise unable to join you on March 20, 2012. Put a star * by anyone's name who you think would make a good Table Captain.
• Need a New Year's Resolution? We have one for you! Promise to recruit at least one Table Captain. This is great way to support your community and make a difference in 2012--knowing that your efforts directly benefit YWCA's programs and services.  
• Leverage your social networking sites (LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter) to announce your Table Captain status. You may find that some people contact you to get a seat at your table. Refer to the Social Media Guide for tips.
