Well, all of the girls got together today to brainstorm how we could get started with our new charity forum, "Girls Giving Back." Now, no offense to the boys, but as working professionals in the business world, we decided that it would be really great to have a dual purpose organization where we could come together and "bond" as women, while also doing something incredible for the community. Our first meeting was a great success. The camaraderie between the women was very impressive and together we brainstormed some great charities throughout the Chicagoland area.
Today we picked our first outing - a morning at "Feed My Starving Children" in Aurora on March 21st. We will meet at 10:00 a.m. to help pack up dry food, which will be distributed to missionaries in third-world countries in Africa, and Central and South America. For more information on the organization, please visit www.fmsc.org. We would love to have a big group join in for our first outing, so please feel free to join in on the fun! All are welcome - even boys!
Our assignment for the next 60 days is to try to learn more about a charity that could use our support. Once we get together March 21st, we will review some ideas and figure out the next event... If anyone has thoughts, suggestions, or ideas, feel free to post a comment!

One day a bunch of girls, brought together through family ties, decided that it was time to do something to give back to the community. All of these dedicated women had always understood the importance of never taking advantage of the opportunities they had been afforded throughout their lives. It was the notion of giving back that inspired them to form a small forum, an outlet by which they could volunteer and raise awareness for a variety of charitable organizations.
