The team spent 2019 transitioning into their new role\, learning more about the inner workings of United Way\, serving women and children in need\, and closed the year out with intentional planning. The team is charged and ready to go\, and all we need is YOU. \nJoin us to hear all that was accomplished in 2019\, where you can plug in for 2020\, and how we further our work in domestic violence\, adult education and financial empowerment. There is so much to share\, but even more to do in this community\, as we strive to advance our most vulnerable to the life of their dreams. \nWomen United’s second annual membership meeting offers interested ladies the chance to hear about first year accomplishments\, upcoming advocacy opportunities and ways to get involved.  All ladies giving at the Leadership level (a $500 or greater undesignated gift to United Way) are eligible to join.  \nWe look forward to seeing you next week and be on the lookout for a calendar invite.
