There have been some excellent ideas that friends and members have shared with us, but we would like to get more people involved.

To that end we would like to form a committee of 5-7 women and men, interested in helping us:

  • Plan our monthly events
  • Plan and execute other “special” events
  • Help us promote the network

Our thoughts were to meet quarterly, and have some conference calls as needed inbetween.

It’s not a large commitment, and we sure would like your input and support in growing this network.

I would like to schedule a meeting in the next couple of weeks (possibly the week of June 11th)

Please leave a comment below or email me (moc.cnixoblootehtnull@okieR or use the Contact Us form) with your name and email and let me know mornings, evenings, lunch availability, or if you want to be involved and cannot attend.

Our 2012 Scholarship season is now open  If you know a woman who is looking to transition her career and is in need of financial assistance, please let them know about our scholarships and encourage them to submit an application. Our deadline for entries is May 6 with scholarships being distributed at our awards ceremony in June.

Scholarship applications and additional information can be found on theweb site at www.massedfund.org.  Take a minute to read some of the stories from previous recipients on how a scholarship was a changing force in their lives.

And, we accept donations of all sizes all year round. So if you want to help a deserving woman reach her goal this year,
Don’t forget – submission deadline is May 6!
Sincerely,

Veva Johnson, President
