Almost Spring, 2008

Dear Supporters,

Over the winter when many things lie dormant, Mujeres was blooming!

Kiette Tucker, a senior at Northeastern University in Boston, put on an exhibition of photographs of indigenous women of Mexico, and sent the proceeds to us. Kiette showed perserverance and a spirit of giving that is most impressive.

Edmonds Unitarian Universalist Church designated us as the offering recipient for the entire month of December. This is the second year in a row that we have been so honored. The gifts of that generous congregation will go far in accomplishing current projects and future goals.

Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Port Townsend also named us as recipient for one of their designated offering Sundays. Again, this was the second year we were fortunate to be on the list of charities that they support.

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church of Port Angeles included us in a Sunday afternoon fair trade bazaar in December. We were excited to be there.

Cedars Unitarian Universalist Church of Bainbridge Island included us in their alternative gift catalog this winter. They have a terrific program of supporting many wonderful groups, and we were humbled to be among them.

International Women's Day is celebrated by Olympic Cellars of Port Angeles. On March 5, they sponsored a soup dinner and wine-tasting, with music by Sequimarimba (our own board member Martha Rudersdorf plays with this amazing group.) A portion of the proceeds are divided between a local and and international charity....and guess who received the international designation??? Mujeres!

Soon our annual funds solicitation letter will arrive on your doorstep. Thank you, in advance, one and all, for your help, encouragement and support.
