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.

Ronald McDonald House Success!

Good afternoon!
Last Saturday was such a great way to jumpstart "Girls Giving Back." While we all could not make the event, our entire group took the time and participated by contributing to the lunch at Ronald McDonald House! We really enjoyed preparing a meal for the families of RMH. We couldn't help but show off our inner "domestic goddess-ness" too! ;)
Big huge "thank you" to Liz for organizing our first event! At our informal meeting after the event, we discussed various organizations that we are interested in as individuals and as a group. The general consensus is that with the summer being so busy for everyone, we would like to schedule our next big event for August. Please take a look at your calendar and pencil in 8/14 for the next GGB service day.
In the meantime, we are all going to continue to invite each other to various service events throughout the summer and possibly participate in a Walk or Run together! Courtney has invited us to join her in handing out Jelly Bellies this Saturday at the corner of Lake & Harlem in Oak Park from 9am - 1pm. Proceeds will benefit Misericordia.
Have a fabulous week!
