With the holiday season in full swing, there are lots of reasons to celebrate! Join fellow members and friends as we celebrate the holiday season by recognizing BPW Calgary’s 90th Anniversary and the accomplishments of this year’s Wisdom Boost participants.
This year’s holiday social will be held at the new cSPACE, a unique venue in the historic King Edward School in Marda Loop. We’ll be treated to a full tour so you can see firsthand how cSPACE supports communities of artistic, non-profits and entrepreneurs who works at the creative edge of change.
We’ll also be collecting donations for Plan Canada and HUGS (Hope Uplights Giving Strength). Through Plan Canada, we can help improve healthcare for the most vulunerable women and children across the world by providing training for female health workers. Our donations are matched 8:1, so our impact is even more profound. This year, in support of our 90th anniversary, our goal is to provide training to 90 women. Help us reach this goal by making a small donation!
HUGS provides blankets to make a difference in the lives of women and children who need to feel warmth, comfort and security while they go through a difficult time. They help remind them that they are not alone, as they strive to lead lives free from violence and abuse. The program is sponsored by The Consignment Gallery and this year donations collected help support Awo Taan Lodge directly. You can make a small donation, or bring a new blanket to the event to show your support.
We look forward to seeing you at our last event in 2017 – RSVP today!
Far too often women are under-served when it comes to wealth/financial planning. We want you and the women you know to empower yourselves by increasing your investment knowledge in a fun, collaborative and supportive environment. Join us October 4 for this important conversation. A program designed by women for women.
Join us on Wednesday, October 11 for our Fall networking event! We’ll be hosted by SS 106 Apertivo Bar. SS 106’s menu is a reflection of Italian Calabrese style cuisine with a modern twist. Cocktails, scrumptious food, and laughs with ladies representing many professional backgrounds! What’s not to love?
