In
August 2002, REAL SIMPLE Magazine published a story about a group of women
friends in Washington, D.C., who organized a potluck meal to raise money for
their neighbors in need. The idea was simple: Bring a dish to share and a check
for $35.
When Marti Boyd heard of the program, she and a group of her friends began
their version of Womenade in Annapolis, Maryland.
Enter
Bitsy Beene! Bisty meet Marti while on vacation and the two began to talk. And
now, Womenade of Monroe is up and running. It includes women from many churches
in our area. At their first meeting, the group collected $ 2,500 and checks
continue to roll in.
