Afternoon Luau
Being part of a Woman's Life chapter is all about spending time with friends, strengthening friendships, relaxing and having fun. Members of Chapter 823 Croswell, Michigan combined the fun of a summer afternoon Luau with a meeting to make plans for upcoming community activities. It's fun...with a higher purpose. What could be better than that?

Chicken & Biscuit Dinner
Woman's Life Chapter 59 Rochester, New York held a Chicken & Biscuit Dinner to raise funds for SABAH. Skating Athletes Bold at Heart provides equipment and services that enable individuals with special needs to experience the success and joy of therapeutic ice-skating. Members raised, with matching funds, $1,027 to assist the programs that SABAH provides, and they are enthusiastic supporters of this organization because it's about more than skating, it's about turning possibilities into realities!
Will 2 Walk
At a recent meeting, Chapter 813 Ubly, Michigan welcomed Rich Hamill, founder of the Will 2 Walk Foundation, which hopes to raise awareness about spinal cord injuries and help set up health and exercise programs for those in wheelchairs so they can stay fit and healthy while they wait for new treatments. Chapter members were inspired by his desire to take on this issue and make a difference. To benefit this program, they will be holding a Murder Mystery Dinner Theater fundraising event in Ruth, Michigan in October.
Three Winners
Members of Woman's Life Chapter 801 Marysville, Michigan were hoping to raise enough money to fund two scholarships with their "What a Woman Wants" event. But their event was such a big success, they raised enough, with matching funds, to provide three scholarships! The funds will assist three women in St. Clair County as they pursue their goals in higher education. The winners were invited to a recent chapter meeting where they were presented with their checks and celebrated with cake, too.
Euchre Anyone?
To help a local family with rising medical expenses, Chapter 811 Harbor Beach, Michigan held a Euchre Tournament at Farmer's Tavern in Ruth. Family and friends came to play cards and enjoy the light lunch and prizes and help a family in need within their community.
