Thank you to all the 2008 Trailblazer Luncheon attendees who contributed toward Baskets of Hope, a collection of toiletries and school supplies to benefit survivors of domestic violence through Domestic Violence and Rape Crisis Services of Saratoga County. Your generosity was amazing! At right, DVRC Executive Director Maggie Fronk (left) and Women’s Fund Steering and Volunteer Committee member Ellie Alexander stand with all the donations.

Women's Fund volunteers braved the windy, wet weather to participate in the Freihofer’s Community Walk on Saturday, May 31, 2008, at the Empire State Plaza.

Participants were: Doris Chow, Denise Harlow, Eileen Marciano, Laurie Gillespie-Allen, Maggie Fronk, Kim Cardillo and Megan Allen. Besides having fun – despite the weather – the Freihofer’s Team raised $574! This year’s event was cut a little short because of the weather, but participants still had a good time and are looking forward to next year’s walk.

Thanks to volunteer Eileen Marciano for organizing the walk participants.

LUNAFEST is a national film festival that began in 2001 that features short films by, for, or about women. The films range from animation to fictional drama, and cover topics such as women's health, motherhood, body image, sexuality, cultural diversity and breaking barriers.

The Festival came to the Capital Region in Spring 2008 at Siena College's Key Auditorium in Roger Bacon Hall, with all proceeds benefiting The Women’s Fund (85%) and the Breast Cancer Fund (15%). The Women's Fund gratefully received $2,083.
