Hello RSFBPW Ladies and Guests:
As we celebrate Women’s Week in March, we recognize the vital role of women in our world, I am inspired to reflect on the extraordinary contributions of several remarkable women. Each has pioneered the way, breaking barriers, and illuminating our journey towards equality, empowerment, and change. This month, let's draw inspiration from their stories, their resilience, and their unwavering commitment to progressive change.
From Harriet Tubman’s fight for freedom and justice with the Underground Railroad, to Malala Yousafzai’s courageous advocacy for girls’ education, these women exemplify the strength and spirit of female leadership. Clara Barton founded our American Red Cross, while Jacinda Ardern, 40th Prime Minister in New Zealand managed the Pandemic with empathetic and decisive governance. These women, like us, remind us of the diverse arenas where we must continue to excel.
A quote I love from Gloria Steinem that resonates strength for all women says, “"Don't think about making women fit the world—think about making the world fit women." Steinem captures the spirit of women everywhere - as leaders, as entrepreneurs, as volunteers, as influencers and in every field where we choose to make our mark.
Let's use these stories to inspire us to dream bigger, reach higher, and stand stronger together. Let's honor their legacies by continuing to push for progress, by being leaders in our network, companies, our communities, and by supporting one another in each of our endeavors to make that difference.
Remember, our March Meeting starts at 11:00 AM so you can network for 45 minutes before we start our lunch and formal meeting. As a member you can donate a raffle basket for our 2025 Charity and that entitles you to have 60 seconds for your commercial. The proceeds from our raffle basket will be donated to our 2025 Charity, The Kendall Bug Mission, at the end of the year.
I can't wait to see you in March. Oh.... if you want, wear a shamrock or green at our meeting!
Warmly,
Laine Klug
