THIS EVENT POSTPONED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER. WILL POST NEW DATE SOON!
You are cordially invited, by the Greater Seattle Women of Vision chapter, to attend a free educational gathering on Rural Poverty in Appalachia. The speakers for this event will be none other than two of our own chapter leaders, Laura & Lynn.
Last summer, Laura and Lynn visited World Vision's program work in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia. During that trip they had the opportunity, among other things, to work alongside several church missions teams doing resident home repair projects, to spend a day with the WoV North Carolina ladies at their day camp for girls, and to tour the WV community storehouse in Philippi. Photos and stories from this trip will be presented at this gathering, along with some basic information about the causes and challenges faced by residents in rural areas steeped in generational poverty.
The South Puget Sound and Greater Seattle chapters of Women of Vision are among numerous other Women of Vision chapters nationwide raising funds for programs in rural Applachia. Our SPS chapter has committed to raising $10,000 for Appalachia this fiscal year, so this subject matter is dear to our hearts. Will you join us?
