Welcome to our newest member who joined Fresno Women's Network in November: Jon S. Morse with Big Picture High School.

December Holiday Luncheon

The December Luncheon found us Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater again this year. Another good year for the Fresno Women’s Network coming to a close and what better way to celebrate than with 100 (or two) of your closest Networking friends.

This event wouldn’t be as festive as it always is if it weren’t for the generous donations of some of our members. Thank you again to all of you who support the Network as well as our Scholarship and Special Events Committees.

Toy Drive for Angels of Grace

It is that time of year again to pull out your festive outfits and prepare to enjoy a Holiday Event with those you have grown closer to within our Network. Of course the event I am referring to is the Fresno Women's Network Annual Holiday Luncheon at Roger Rocka's. For this special event, we begin our luncheon a little earlier (11am) to make sure that everyone has an opportunity to partake in the merriment.

On the agenda, is a Holiday Concert featuring the Voices United Chorus. Other activities include our Scholarship Raffle and the Annual Special Raffle to support our Special Events Committee. If you can, we ask that you bring a raffle item, if not, please be sure to fill your purse with dollars for raffle tickets.

Another very important event that will take place at tomorrow's luncheon, is the Toy Drive we are having for Angels of Grace. We have supported Angels of Grace all year long as our Community Connection Partner. Please bring a wrapped gift for a child...if you can, bring TWO! If you are unable to attend the Luncheon tomorrow, but would like to donate a gift, please contact one of our Board Members.

I look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow! Happy Holidays!
