September 2011
Dear WGC Donors and Friends,

We've had an exciting month, as our Circle Team of strong women competed in the 8/21 Iron Girl Triathlon and raised over $32,000 to support women and girls.  How empowering! Thank you for all of the community support to date. If you haven't yet done so, I hope you will consider supporting our 2011 Circle Team  - it's a big "high five" to say job well done!

 

And, we are proud to announce our 2011 grants to programs that benefit women and girls in our community. And, finally, we are excited that our recruitment for the 2011 Young Women's Giving Circle is underway. There's a lot going on, and many ways to get involved. Join us.

  

Sincerely,
CTaliano Signature
Cynthia Taliano, Chair
