AWC Going Dutch January_February 2019

Women in Need TLC Dinner
by Holly Savoie
Continuing the tradition of community outreach, the AWC is hosting its annual TLC
Dinner on Saturday, February 23. Our goal is to share a bit of TLC with some women
outside or inside our Club, who are experiencing personal struggles and could use a
building up. A personal struggle might be trying to pay bills without enough funds, watching
a loved one suffer, grieving the loss of a spouse or child, dealing with the collapse of a
marriage, battling cancer or other illness, or losing a job and struggling to find a new one.
You can always tell who the strong women are. They are the
ones you see building each other up. ~Anonymous
We want to provide an opportunity for women to put their trouble behind them for a few
hours and maybe make some new friends, to support one another and make connections.
Our goal for this project is to have these women walk away after a relaxing evening and see
that the AWC is an organization of strong women determined to make a difference in the
lives of those around us.
If you know of a woman who could benefit from this uplifting and fulfilling evening, please
send her name and a bit of her “story” to me by January 19 at hpsavoie@comcast.net and
the committee will send out an invitation. If you would like to be involved, there are several
ways that you can help:
• Donate or find sponsors for gifts for the guests.
• On the night of the event itself, we need the help of six volunteers to decorate and serve
the ladies.
• We are also looking for musicians who are willing to donate their services.
