Dining for Women: This program meets once a month to raise funds and support programs that help disadvantaged women. The goal of this organization is to “educate girls, teach women a skill, help develop markets for their products, and fight the prevalent gender inequality in the world. We give a hand up, not a hand out. Dining for Women celebrates the power of the individual to see an injustice and act to change it; to see need and act to fill it. Dining for Women’s members are deeply involved in the programs we support and the problems we seek to address. Our education component is equally as important as our fundraising.” Please contact Susan Lane at (860)675-8664 or selinavon@aol.com for details.
