Hello Wonderful Women Who Care About Ventura County!

As you know, at the July meeting we selected the organization “Women of Substance/Men of Honor” to receive our donations for this quarter. This organization is dedicated to providing support to young men and women that were incarcerated and/or in the foster care system and are ready to change the course of their lives. Many have never been given the opportunity to do so and our donations will be used to reinstate a program called “Healthy Lifestyle Program.” This program is focused on teaching and coaching young women in establishing healthy relationships, recognizing potentially abusive situations and how to avoid them, establishing and maintaining good nutrition habits, and preparing for job interviews, in addition to providing emotional support as they transition into the mainstream. Thanks to your ongoing generosity, $5,600 was collected and delivered to Rosalinda Vint, the Executive Director of Women of Substance/Men of Honor, on Thursday, September 5th by Jan Jones, our member who presented this organization at the meeting, and Leslie De Los Santos. Congratulations for continuing to make such a difference in our County! As Rosalinda Vint said, “If you change one, you change a community and future generations will be changed as well.” You will meet her at our October 23rd meeting when she delivers her presentation about this important program.

Happy End of Summer and we look forward to seeing you on October 23rd!
