Women Who Make a Difference
Sustainers,
Thank you for your continued support throughout the year. We could not make the impact we do without you. WWMD is our last fund raising event of the year. The committee has done an excellent job thus far. We are in the home stretch and we would benefit greatly by having you with us on Sunday. We are honoring one of our own leaders, Claudia Kitchens. Please join me in making this day a success.
With kind regards,
Erin Knight

Sustainer Happenings
Antique Roadshow Ellen Oppenheimer of WLRN fame and a sustainer gave us the heads up that Antique Roadshow will be coming to Miami Beach on Saturday, July 10th. There is a volunteer opportunity available that comes with two items being 'evaluated'.
Rules: MUST attend training on July 9th from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm, must work from 6:30 am to 7:00 pm at Miami Beach Convention Center. We are waiting to hear about parking costs. You will be provided an Antiques Roadshow t-shirt, breakfast, lunch, and snacks, AND volunteers may bring two items to be "evaluated" -it is not a real appraisal. Ellen says- "My friends who have done this event say it is great fun!"
If you have an interest in participating in a volunteer capacity please email Ellen.
