Exciting Board News
 Women's Resource Center is proud to announce (in case you haven't already heard) that our board member Senator David Adelman has been nominated by the Obama Administration to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Singapore. David has served on our board for 5 years and has been an advocate for domestic violence survivors in the Georgia senate, DeKalb business community, and Atlanta legal community. Congratulations David!
Kicking off his campaign for Senator Adelman's vacated seat this week is another WRC board member, Jason Carter. Jason has been on the board for just over a year and currently serves as Vice President. His first campaign event will be held Wednesday, December 9 from 6:30 to 8pm at Twain's in downtown Decatur.
WRC would also like to welcome the newest member of our board of directors, Tammy Pearson. Tammy is currently the Vice President and Assistant General Counsel of the Corporate Legal Department at Chick-fil-A. Prior to joining Chick-fil-A, she was a Partner in the Finance and Commercial Real Estate Department in the Atlanta office of Hunton & Williams. Please help us welcome Tammy to our cause! |
Shop to Benefit WRC There are two great ways to shop to benefit WRC this holiday season.
First, stop by Ten Thousand Villages in Virginia Highlands today (Tuesday, December 8) from 6-8pm. You can give fairly traded gifts this season - toys, jewelry, baskets, nativities, ornaments, folk art and more - and 10% of your total purchase will be donated to women right here. You can also sign up for a gift bag drawing for free services or discounts from local businesses and fair trade gifts, and you'll receive ½ off any food items on the menu at Neighbor's Pub by showing your receipt.
Also, during your regular holiday shopping, look for deals on these items that WRC needs most: blankets, pillows, space heaters, and towel sets. These items can be dropped off Monday-Friday 9am-5pm at our Decatur office.
Call Amber Harris at 404-370-7670 for more ideas for donations that will make our holiday bright! |
