Thank you
To those of you who braved the snow squalls to attend our "Meet and Greet" at Sweet, thank you. More than eighty women joined us to learn about our dedicated group and how to get involved. Not able to attend? Read on and see what we can accomplish together!

Calling all mentors!
It's $-Diva time again and that means we need you. Actually, we need you and 99 other fabulous women like yourself to give one day of your time. Using the fun and interactive $-Diva curriculum, you can help teach girls the tools they need to start on the road to financial independence.
 
The $-Diva Conferences are planned for 250 eighth-grade girls at Abby Kelley Foster and Sullivan Middle Schools. If you can volunteer for one day, either April 28, 29 or 30, we want to hear from you. 
 
Sign-up today!
