No Strings Attached Semi-Annual Meeting

No Strings Attached is having its semi-annual meeting on Monday, April 25 at 5 p.m. on Zoom. We had really hoped that we could once again meet in person at Eve’s home and enjoy each other’s company, her wonderful cheeses and wine, but both Eve and I still feel uncomfortable. Each of us will have to bring her own glass of wine and snacks to the meeting! 

If you are unfamiliar with this group, we help women who need a little boost so they can move forward with their lives. In these days of Covid, there have been a lot of women needing help! The criteria for helping a woman are simple:

• We help only women living in Dane County who are referred to us by a knowledgeable source. 
• Our gifts cannot replicate what other organizations or government programs do.
• Ours is a one-time gift and we expect that gift to make a difference in the woman’s life. 

It's catching things that fall between the cracks - helping out someone with a one-time, average gift of $350. For us, spending $350 to repair a car is not a hardship. But, for the women we help it can be an insurmountable mountain. We don’t expect our recipients to pay us back, but we do ask if they are ever able to help another woman, we would like them to Pay It Forward.

If you are interested in joining this group or would just like to join the Zoom meeting to see what it is all about, please email Mary Hamre at maryhamre@gmail.com and she will send you the materials and the links so you can join.
