Happy New Year!
We look forward to continuing to invest together to assist women and girls in our community in 2008.
The last several years the WGC has focused educational efforts and grantmaking dollars on middle-school aged girls. As we begin the new year, we are pleased to continue providing critical information on, and to, this age group.
Beginning in January 2008 the WGC is sponsoring a variety of important workshops and programs focusing on young girls and we invite you and your daughters, granddaughters, and other interested young women to join us.
