Greetings Diners!
A special (though belated) thank you to Karen C. for hosting our November 2010 dinner. We had 11 attendees and collectively raised $178 to support Rubia’s Threads of Change Program in Nangtahar, Afghanistan.
A special (though belated) thank you to Karen C. for hosting our November 2010 dinner. We had 11 attendees and collectively raised $178 to support Rubia’s Threads of Change Program in Nangtahar, Afghanistan.
To learn more about Rubia and their efforts to provide economic opportunities to marginalized Afghan women, take a look at the following video:Our chapter has decided to take a short hiatus due to general holiday chaos, but will reconvene in January to support Matrichaya in India. We are looking for hostesses for the first quarter of 2011, so please drop me a note at erikakeaveney@gmail.com if you can offer up your home or office.
I would also like to encourage you to consider donating to Dining for Women’s 2010 Annual Appeal to help cover their operating expenses: http://diningforwomen.org/node/686. Doing so will continue to ensure that 100% of every donation made at the monthly meetings goes directly to projects on the ground.
Also – if you would like to learn about December’s feature charity (The BOMA Fund in Kenya), please visit http://diningforwomen.org/node/183. You can easily make a contribution to this project by clicking the “donate” button in the upper right hand of the page.
We thank your continued participation and we look forward to growing our chapter in 2011!
Wishing you health, peace and prosperity in the New Year!
Warmly,
Erika Keaveney
