A Note from the President
As World of Women nears its twenty fifth year anniversary it is a perfect time to reflect on past accomplishments and look forward to our future endeavors.
Then:
In 1995 World of Women was a few women meeting in a living room with nothing but
the will to make the world a better, safer place for women and children.
Now:
We are a united powerful force continually working to end domestic violence thru fund
raising, education and early intervention programs.
-We advocating for those with no voice by raising our voices with other powerful women’s organizations so our concerns are heard by legislatures, politicians and advocates.
- We are giving 200 children in reduced circumstances a holiday party every year
-We are providing thousands of dollars in financial aid to women and children affected by Hurricane Sandy.
-We are providing thousands of dollars in Scholarship funds to young women headed to college and mature women returning to college or going for the first time.
This is an exciting time for us as we enter our next phase of advocacy and education. We welcome all women to join us at The Marina Grand Restaurant on Mansion Avenue in Great Kills on the last Monday of each month at 7:00 pm for our dinner meeting.
Come be involved and engaged and make a difference with us.
