  Thursday, October 8, 6 p.m. Girls Gotta Run Foundation Athletic Scholarship Program In 2006, Girls Gotta Run Inc. was established as the first and only 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting Ethiopian girls from under-resourced communities who were training to become professional runners. Girls Gotta Run Foundation invests in girls who use running and education to empower themselves and their communities in Ethiopia. This grant supports a holistic, community-rooted program that provides full academic support (tuition, uniforms, tutoring, supplies); weekly life-skills sessions (including reproductive health, leadership, and financial literacy); daily lunch to support nutrition and attendance; health support and hygiene kits; sports kits; coached running; and opportunities to participate in local and regional races. Mothers will play a central role: they will be employed to prepare meals (creating income and ownership), invited to participate in savings-and-loan cooperatives that promote entrepreneurship and household stability, and offered vocational skills training. This project will address the root causes of dropout (poverty, early marriage, and lack of support) and keep girls in school while strengthening families and community resilience. This is a potluck dinner with a small educational component. Money that otherwise would be spent on dining out is donated instead.  Over the past several years, we have raised over $49,000 for Together Women Rise.  Please contact Rosemary Revoir for more information.

  REGISTRATION REQUIRED

  Take some time to slow down, get inspired, and put words on the page at our daylong Writers' Retreat.  During this writing retreat, participants will be guided through a series of creative writing exercises, with plenty of time to write, reflect, and follow where the ideas lead. There will also be an opportunity to share your work with the group, if you’d like—sharing is entirely optional. Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and give yourself the space to write.

  Lunch will be provided. Tickets are $15 per person. There are 15 spots available.
