Tis the Season for Giving

The North Guild is blessed to have grown in size with 76 current members and to be able to raise $39,680 in under one year. Our community struggles economically with the ripple of job losses stemming from the closing of our beloved space program. Many have found themselves overwhelmed by the surge in charitable requests from numerous organizations. But this agency, the Women's Center, works not only with the individual but with the family to change not only today but all the tomorrows for a family. It works to EMPOWER the individual and leads them to a productive life and breaks the chain of violence that would otherwise regenerate. The knowledge of this CHANGE leads so many individuals, companies, not for profit and for profits to stand behind the Women's Center North Guild in support and giving. The Guild is honored to be a part of the first Transitional Women's Home in Titusville to be opening in January of 2012.

We have many events in the works:

• No-Show Open House for our Transitional Home
• Christmas Social for Guild members and prospective members
• Knight of Vision on February 3, 2012
• Men Rock the Runway 2012
• Scramble Golf Tournament April 2012

With the holidays quickly approaching we are asking Guild Members to renew their membership for 2012 and give the gift of membership to their loved ones. We would like to invite our members to increase their annual gift from last year, or consider making a recurring gift monthly. What better gift can be given than the gift of HOPE.

The North Guild is particularly interested in developing a "Youth Guild." The value of giving the gift of membership to a youth and having them involved in the prevention can change the course of lives.

Yours in Service,

Sudha Talluri-Rao
North Guild President
