Hello ,
April is a time to recognize the power of community. As we celebrate National Volunteer Month, we’re especially grateful for the hundreds of volunteers who help make our work possible – those who give their time every day to help create spaces where women across Cape Cod can find support, connection, and opportunity.
As we continue our 25th year, we’re reminded that this work has always been powered by people showing up for one another – so that WE CAN can show up for you.
With gratitude,
Lisa Guyon
Executive Director, WE CAN
P.S. We’ve shuffled things around a bit in this latest newsletter – you’ll now find upcoming workshops at the top to make planning a little easier.
