March 2012 Updates! Great news!

We welcome Sandy Reed, our new treasurer, to our Mujeres' Board. Sandy and her husband, Jim, traveled to Chiapas in December as part of the small group that I led. Sandy's interest in what we do there prompted us to invite her to join with us. She accepted, and her background of teacher, bookkeeper, travel agent as well as her current membership in Soroptimist International of Sequim (our longtime supporter) will be a great asset to us.
She has survived her first marathon board meeting!! Welcome, Sandy!!
.....................

Wonderful news from Alternative Gifts International! Mujeres has been selected to grace the pages of their Alternative Gifts Catalog for the fourth year in a row. This organization has been an amazing support for us.
If you are not familiar with AGI, please see their website at www.alternativegifts.org or see their Facebook page.
We are so appreciative! It is an honor and a privilege to work with the caring folks at AGI.

I am including a link to a video here that is about 90% applicable to Mujeres. It answers the question, "Why girls?" I recommend it...it's only 4 minutes of your time. Please click on the link below.

All for now, Judith
