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.

    I am planning to attend on behalf of A Silver Lining Foundation - Please let me know if you have interest in attending. This could be a really good networking experience to learn more about the different charities we are looking to get involved with.
