OWWL Luncheon Recap

The Organization for Welsh Women Leaders hosted a luncheon last Thursday for new hires, seasoned employees and OWWL members. The luncheon ice breaker was extremely neat, each woman was asked to reach into a bag and pick out a scented candle. The name of the candle was the table name they along with 3-5 other women would be sitting throughout the luncheon. Other ice breakers were placed on each table for the individuals to get to know one another with the game of, "Would you rather?"

This was a great day overall and an opportunity for OWWL members to explain what the group has to offer, upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. The delicious cupcakes from Wuollet Bakery were an added bonus!

Hope For The City Seeking Volunteers for Annual Gala Preparation

Hope for the City's 11th Annual Celebration of Hope Gala is fast approaching on October 22nd, 2011 and will be held at The Depot in Minneapolis. The gala will host over 800 business and community leaders for an evening filled with gourmet food, live music, socializing, and silent and live auctions; all for a very worthwhile cause!  Proceeds will help Hope for the City to further fulfill their mission to improve lives by distributing corporate surplus to organizations who serve those in need next door and around the world. Now celebrating its 9th year, the gala has grossed over 1.6 million to help those in dire need.
