Thank you to all who joined us last month as we partnered with The Tomorrow Project. Chef Mark did a wonderful job with his demo on how to prepare carne asada tacos and the delicious fruit tarts. Thank you to the board members who cooked some of the Tomorrow Projects products, especially to Terri Carver one of our regular attendees who volunteered to make the Chili into Chili Mac.

We donated half of the registration fees collected the night of the event totaling $150, AFWA purchased another $175 in products, plus what all of those who attended purchased. All the money is going to help homeless and battered women to have a chance to learn some marketable job skills and be able to re-enter the workforce.

Kathy is a current member of the project and was one of our speakers. Kathy escaped an abusive scene where she was beaten and hospitalized. At the hospital, someone there gave her the name & address of Rachel’s Day Center where she later connected with the Tomorrow Project.

By being a part of the assembly line packaging the soup mixes, etc., she began to get back a little of her self-esteem. She also learned some other valuable job skills including learning how to use Microsoft Office and other computer experience.

She chose to live on the street than to return to her home where the abuser lived. She now has a job at McDonald’s where she is proud to be working and shows up early every day so she is good and ready to work when it’s time to begin.

I’m so happy we were able to be a part of giving back and helping other women. If you would like to find out more about The Tomorrow Project or would like to purchase their items then visit their website at https://www.tomorrowproject.org/

I look forward to seeing everyone at this month’s event. We’re trying out a hip new Italian Bistro & Wine Bar.

Sincerely,

Shelly Waddell, Vice President
