SERVICES HAVEN’T MISSED A BEAT We want to let you all know that OUR DOORS REMAIN OPEN and there has been NO lapse in the many services we offer women with cancer and their families and friends. Some of you might have read the Sentinel article a couple of weeks ago, and others of you may have heard through the grapevine, that the agency is facing a big financial challenge. This is true, and there has, in the last few weeks, been a large outpouring of support from our Santa Cruz community. We are greatly encouraged by the depth and breadth of this concern and passionate commitment to helping preserve our unique services. We have a new board of directors and a committed fundraising team. They, along with staff, have been meeting with financial advisors and development consultants to create a sustainable long-term income for WomenCARE. It is both exciting and challenging. We are also looking for 2 or 3 more board members who have a strong background with nonprofit boards and who could make at least a 6-month commitment. We are particularly hoping for an attorney, women with fundraising talents and/or experience working with the media. Please contact LaVerne or Allison if you are interested: 457-2273 We couldn’t do it without you! Donations of any amount are welcome and greatly appreciated. Video Speaks from the Heart of WomenCARE WomenCARE's video, Further to Fly, is a deeply moving 13 minute video with an encouraging message from women with cancer to women with cancer, sharing words of experience spoken from the heart of WomenCARE. The video can be viewed at our office, checked out of our lending library, or purchased for a suggested donation of $10, which covers the cost of reproduction. Any donation above $10 will go towards the production of a linguistically and culturally appropriate video for the Spanish speaking population of Santa Cruz County. Call the office at 457-2273 to view or purchase the video.
