Hey, Girlfriends -
 
Do you know your Cabernet from your Zinfandel, or how about your Pinot Grigio from Sauvignon Blanc? Mark your calendars for our Holiday Mixer: GFF's Brown Bag Wine Down at Cambria Gallery on December 6th. It will be great way for Girlfriends, spouses and friends to celebrate the season as we mix it up this year. Everyone is invited! Details and  RSVP below.

And, again, this year we're planning our  Holiday Angels Project to provide unexpected gifts and smiles to our hard-working recipients and their families. Details below in Cheryl's Corner.

Hi Girlfriends,

I'm excited to share with you the GFF Holiday Angels Project, Gather and Give.

We all think of our recipients as part of the GFF family, so why not add them to our shopping lists during the holiday season to let them know we care.  We are all so blessed to have so much. This is a very special way to support our recipients, and is simple and fun!
 
Here's how it works: 
1)      While you're out shopping between now and the end of the year, simply throw in a gift card (or two or more) valued at $25 for our recipients. Let's see how many gift cards we can gather and gift to these women who would appreciate something either practical or fun for their busy lifestyles.
 
2)      If you'd rather we gather the gift cards for you, simply go to our website and donate to the Holiday Angels Program and our Girlfriend Elves will do the shopping for you!
 
3)      Some suggested retailers: Target, Kohl's, Trader Joes, Starbucks, local movie theaters, grocery stores and restaurants.
 
4)      You can either drop them off or mail them to our office or, better yet, bring them with you to our Holiday Mixer at Cambria Gallery on December 6th to help fill up our Gather and Gift basket!
 
5)      GFF Circles...yes, I'm challenging you! How about designating one month's donations to the Holiday Angels Project? Or get creative and think of other ways to raise funds for our Gather and Give efforts.     
6)      For ease of delivery to these busy women, we'll be distributing our Gather and Gift bounty in personalized gift baskets at their annual High Tea on January 29th.
 
I encourage ALL of you to Gather and Give joining this effort to bring joy and a bit of encouragement to our hard-working GoGirl! Grant recipients. Now get out there and shop!
