As a new volunteer, it was great to meet so many supporters of The Women's Resource Center and to get know the board members, past and present. So many helping hands were there making the event a great success.
Lisa Miller, the Executive Director and our fearless leader, gave a great speech tonight, expressing some thought provoking ideas. She spoke about the difficulties we are all facing these days, how our community is changing and that the kind of support The Women's Resource Center provides will become even more crucial as we head into the future.
One of the things I love about The Women's Resource Center is the mingling of youth and maturity and the celebration of all of the talents we have to offer, young and old. We all have so much to learn from each other and its wonderful to be in a community that values all of the insights and energy each of us can give.
Terri Bennett, our keynote speaker, gave us wonderful food for thought regarding what we all could do to not just reduce our carbon footprint, but our eco footprint. I learned many facts about lightbulbs and recycling that have inspired me to do even more to reduce, recycle and reuse. Go to her site to see the many simple things you can do to create a more sustainable life that helps protect the planet.
Thanks to everyone who helped to make the gala such a lovely event, especially Susan Huttman, WRC Outreach Coordinator, who spent the evening managing the logistics, making it all run so smoothly. It was a pleasure to volunteer with so many warm and dedicated people.
I am sure we will have pictures to share soon - hope to see even more of you there at next year's event!
