Beth Roalstad, the Executive Director of the Women's Resource Agency, Inc. will be hosting the Women in Business Breakfast for our October meeting on the 4th Thursday, October 23. Jane Aiello came up with a great idea that as long as we are going to the agency, we might want to clean out our closets and contribute to the WRA’s Dress for Success. Visit www.wrainc.org for the guidelines for donations to Dress for Success so you can cull through your closet and get your donations ready to bring to the meeting. Thank you Beth for hosting and thank you Jane for a great idea.
Beth will give a brief presentation about the Women’s Resource Agency. As we are getting into the season where dusk occurs earlier and earlier and many of us will alter our routines to be running around in the evening to accomplish all kinds of errands around the holidays, we will also be having a self defense presentation.
The Women’s Resource Agency is on the EAST side of the mall between Penny's and Dillard's. Enter Service Court 7 (an employee entrance) between the two stores. When you go through the second double door, turn left down a very short hall-way and a sign will be posted for Women's Resource Agency. That is their back door. Should you get lost, Beth’s cell phone number is 231-7803.
For those of you that are unfamiliar with this group, at last count there were 60 members. The Business Breakfast occurs once a month on the 4th Thursday of the month. We have networking and then a program. We don’t charge a membership fee but we do ask for a $5.00 contribution every 6 months to pay for coffee supplies and paper goods. Each person volunteers to bring muffins, quiche, fruit, yogurt etc every 6 months or so. Members come as they can but there is not a meeting requirement per se so the group flexes each month. We also change locations depending what the program is and what venues are available. Networking starts at 7:30 and program at 8. We are out of there by 9.
