I received a beautiful invitation in the mail last month for an event I’ll be attending tomorrow night, March 31. The pink sticky note on the outside of it was from Linda Hunt, a current client in my Mastermind Group. It read, “Jane, this is a wonderful event I thought you would enjoy. Please attend as my guest + feel free to bring a friend.”
What attracted me, in addition to the handwritten note which was the closer, was:
- The name of the event–Hearts of Hope Women’s Benefit
- The tag line for the benefit–Women who can…for women who can’t
- The cause– Bridgeport Rescue Mission’s Women’s Ministries for Homeless Women
- The guest speaker–Elisa Morgan, Author, She Did What She Could
- The invitation to bring a friend
After reading the bio of the keynote speaker who has authored over 15 books on mothering, I immediately thought of my friend Leigh Scott who is currently authoring her own book on parenting. When she said “yes” to the invitation, I let Linda know her table would be two women fuller.
This morning I called Linda to find out more about this group. Now I’m even more excited than I was when I originally rsvp’d. The premise is to get women together in a room. We women understand how powerful that energy is. This group started two years ago with 150 women attending, had 300 last year and expects 500 tomorrow evening. (There’s still room for two more at Linda’s table. Contact me asap if you’re able to join us.)
Linda’s interest began when she ‘stumbled upon’ the non-profit Alpha Home (see their mission below*) after being hired do handle their bookkeeping. Her deep compassion for the homeless took this job opportunity beyond the office and into her heart. Hence, her hosting tables at these events and spreading the word about how women can help each other. Will you join me, Linda and Leigh? (BTW, it’s free–sponsored by underwriters who believe in this mission and support it with their dollars.)
*WELCOME TO ALPHA HOME
At Alpha Home, our goal is to provide women with an affordable, safe haven where they can identify and overcome the core issues underlying their chemical addictions, regain their independence, and rejoin their communities as healthy, whole women.
