I don’t get the “scratchy/les” reference. But, this is a great group of women from all walks of life who care about this community…many spending hours of their time not only for Impact 100 but for individual non-profits. Thanks, William, for reporting on the event. We’re hoping for 1000 women in 2013. Everyone welcome!
Karen I apologize, I did not mean to stike a raw nerve with you and yes, I do donate time and resources to charity and community service.
I just wish the scratchy fiends could be a little more decisive, nothing personal.
Moreover I am amazed at how quickly we can loose our focus and stray from the primary subject matter.
@429SCJ how do you know they don’t invest in community groups or civic groups. How about you do you invest in such groups? Great job ladies.
Thank you Ladies, you are making a difference!
Nice ladies for a number of great causes.
Only $1000.00 a year, I submit that some of the women (men too) that I grow old standing in line behind at the checkout, while they decide which scratchy/ies they wish to invest in, would be better entertained and fullfilled by joining a civic group.
