Thank you!

A HUGE thank-you once again to all of the women who attended our Founder’s Day event at Volare last Tuesday. Sisters and guests had a great time enjoying cocktails and appetizers while supporting The Center for Women and Families. Many of us also had the opportunity to meet Jane Short, our Province Alumnae Chair, who drove up from Nashville for the event. 

Our special guest speaker for the evening was Courtney DiShebear, a legal advocate and community educator from the Center for Women and Families. Courtney provided the group with important facts and statistics about domestic abuse. One in four women will be a victim of at least one type of abuse in her lifetime – this means each one of us has had an experience with domestic and/or sexual abuse, whether through a personal experience or through someone you know. We also learned about the wide array of services that the Center offers to victims of abuse. I am proud to announce that our chapter raised $250 for the Center for Women and Families – way to go ladies!
