Beginning on Wednesday, Oct 16, Westside will host the group, Together Women Rise, every month in the Lighthouse.
Together Women Rise is a powerful community of women and allies dedicated to achieving global gender equality. There are hundreds of local chapters across the U.S. where members learn about and advocate for gender equality issues, give grants to organizations that empower women and girls in low-income countries, and build community to forge meaningful connections that increase our strength and collective impact.
Recent grants have been awarded in Bangladesh, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Vietnam. Read more about their program at https://togetherwomenrise.org/ (Fun extras on their website are a marketplace and recipes from other countries!)
On the third Wednesday of each month, from noon to 2:00 pm, meet for a potluck lunch and a brief presentation. All are invited to attend! Contact Merry G for more information.
