Dilworth Neighborhood Social  

On January 15th, 35 members and guests gathered at the home of Molly Shaw to make new connections with each other and meet new neighbors.  This intimate, low-key event was a huge success.  Thanks to Molly Shaw and the Membership Committee for launching this new networking activity.

Grants Training - Great Education!    

More than 70 members came together on January 16th to learn about how to get the most of our site visits and how to evaluate RFPs.  A member, one of many attending who is not on the Grants Committee, told us, "I was curious about the process and love to learn new things.  I love this perk about being a member of Women's Impact Fund."  Special thanks to Mary Gallivan, Katie James, Arrington Mixon, Amy Owen, Barbara Rein, and Kathy Ridge who provided their expertise!
