I join hands with you, incredible women - bright, energetic, remarkable women ---all dedicated to a common good.
We are mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, wives and friends. We are teachers, mentors, students, doctors, lawyers, nurses and executives.
We have chosen a wide array of different paths; we have traveled down different roads. We have met different challenges, relied on different strengths and overcome different weaknesses.
We are short, tall, thin, zaftig, loud, soft spoken, extroverts and introverts. For some of us the path has been smooth; for some filled with potholes.
Yet, no matter what path we have taken, we have arrived at the same destination. We are women---simply wanting to help to the best of our ability. We love our family—our community and our people around the world.
We want to enable every man, woman and child—young and old---to have the resources to travel down their own personal path.
We know it is not possible to continue your journey if you are hungry, if you do not have a roof over your head, if you are isolated, if you can’t afford your medicine, if you do not know where your next pay check is coming from and if you do not have a loving hand—to pull you back on track—when circumstances force you to falter.
We want to right these wrongs. We want to help. Yes, we are the same---much more than we are different.
We are women, just wanting to help. We simply want to make the path smoother.
We give of our time, we give of our dollars. We can be found reading with under privileged children in elementary schools and sitting on boards. We volunteer at hospitals and travel to under developed countries.
We help with our hands and we give of our soul. We give of our time and we give of our dollars. We help build playgrounds and we help build confidence.
We raise our children and we raise the bar. We read Dr. Zeus and we read Annual Reports.
We have learned that:
It is NOT what we do that defines us---BUT WHO we ARE that BINDS US!
We will not rest on our laurels. Rather, we will act with integrity and purpose as we continue to expand our reach. We will do whatever it takes to stress the importance of women making a personal statement, a personal commitment to our greater needs through engagement and philanthropy.
