Last night's meeting was quite a success -- our small group of 11 successfully raised $400 to provide women in West Bengal, India with improved health, education and economic opportunities.
Our group included moms, lawyers, techies, a scientist, a mathematician, a baby and even a ballerina. We shared delicious food and impassioned discussion on the global epidemic of violence against women (VAW) and how we can be a part of the solution.
I think nearly everyone asked for Kristen's recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala and if I can manage to add her as a blog admin, we will have her share the recipe here :)
Helen Z. and ("Auntie") Linda will settle on a date/location for August's dinner which will most likely be held in Encinitas -- stay tuned!
Thank you again to everyone for coming and sharing! We would like to use this blog as a forum for continued discussion, so please feel free to use the comments section for this purpose.
It was wonderful meeting you all and sharing an evening of good food and discussion. I look forward to continued success and am thrilled that we are taking steps to make a real difference in the world for women! See you at the August event!
