During this fun hour at United Way of the Greater Capital Region, over 30 women enjoyed this informal and inspirational event learning:

• where the Women's Fund is now
• where we're going in the future
• how they can be involved
• about our volunteer opportunities and our mentorship program
• about the success of our women's scholarship program

This was so enjoyable and successful that we'll be having other similar events in the future.

Evoke Style, Stuyvesant Plaza's newest women's boutique, hosted a casual evening of networking and fashion to support the Women's Fund. Owner Sandra Dollard (pictured second from the left below) provided shoppers with delicious refreshments and a 10 percent discount on all purchases. At the end of the evening, the Fund received a donation of 10 percent of total sales during the event.

The Women's Fund of the Capital Region is grateful for Sandra's generosity and for the opportunity to introduce Evoke customers to our programs.
