Diamond Ladies

Recently, at the “For the Love of Chocolate” fundraising event, our very own Lisa Guidry won

the very beautiful chocolate diamond bracelet worth $5,700! Willing to share her prize

with some of the glamorous ladies at our home, she has invited them to wear it for a day.

Lucky recipients this month were Meredith Lyon, Opal Fitzherbert and Mabel Crease. The

ladies were very honored and excited to be trusted with wearing something so expensive

and beautiful for the entire day! Thank you Lisa for so generously sharing your gift with

the ladies of KWCC! Below Mabel & Opal are showing off the bracelet while some of

the residents are sampling the chocolate goodies.

International Women's Day March 8, 2015 MAKE IT HAPPEN All around the world, International Women's Day represents an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women while calling for greater equality. Make It Happen is the 2015 theme for our internationalwomensday.com global hub, encouraging effective action for advancing and recognizing women.

Each year International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8. The first International Women's Day was held in 1911. Thousands of events occur to mark the economic, political and social achievements of women. Organizations, governments, charities, educational institutions, women's groups, corporations and the media celebrate the day.

Various organizations identify their own International Women's Day theme, specific to their local context and interests. Many charities, NGOs and Governments also adopt a relevant theme or campaign to mark the day. For example, organizations like the UN, Oxfam, Women for Women, Care International, Plan, World Association of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) and more - run exciting and powerful campaigns that raise awareness and encourage donations for good causes.

Let’s celebrate all of the women in our homes – residents, staff, and volunteers *********************************************************************

General Store

We are in the baby stages of installing a general store

here in the home! We need your help!

What would you like to see in the store? Chips, candy,

pop, Kleenex and small gifts were suggestions, what

else should we have?

If anyone has any ideas for fundraising, please talk to Carol. We are all

very excited to get this addition to our home up and running!

this snow….hopefully, it will make you smile and think of spring!!!
