Virtual Woman's Day™ Supports The Global Opportunity for Women!

"Hope" is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all"- Emily Dickinson

In honor of Virtual Woman's Day™ - The WECAI Network™ made a contribution to the Women's Global Opportunity for Women Campaign - a project of the Women's Edge Coalition, a leading non-partisan organization whose initiatives benefit poor women worldwide.

You too can support the Women's Edge Coalition by visiting the Shop the Cause section of their website. You can also learn more about their partners, and treat a friend (or yourself!) to a beautiful accessory or something special for the home. Any purchase you make will help create employment for female artisans around the world.

Proceeds from the sale of your purchase will help support the Global Opportunity for Women Campaign.

Special Thanks to Rita Sharma Fox, Co-founder and President of the Women's Edge Coalition for all she and her organization do to make the world a better place for women.

BTW, if you are involved in a global cause for women, send us a note (heidi (at) wecai.org) with the details and we may post it to the Virtual Woman's Day™ Blog. Put Global Cause For Women in the subject line.

In addition, if you have virtual events coming up you would like us to mention, send the information to heidi (at) wecai.org with Women's Virtual Events in the subject line.

Wishing you a great day... and then some.

Tomorrow is International Woman's Day!

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Margaret Mead

Since its birth at a Socialist International meeting in Copenhagen in 1910, "International Women's Day has grown to become a global day of recognition and celebration across developed and developing countries alike. For decades, International Women's Day has grown from strength to strength annually. For many years the United Nations has held an annual International Women's Day conference to coordinate international efforts for women's rights and participation in social, political and economic processes. 1975 was designated as 'International Women’s Year' by the United Nations. Women's organisations and governments around the world have also observed International Women's Day annually on 8 March by holding large-scale events that honour women's advancement and while diligently reminding of the continued vigilance and action required to ensure that women's equality is gained and maintained in all aspects of life."

Although started to raise awareness of the plight of women around the globe, today International Women's Day has a strong focus on celebrating women.

Just as those first women made history with International Women’s Day, we too are making history with Virtual Woman’s Day™ on March 15th!

Women's Happenings All Over the Net!

"Enthusiasm is contagious. Be a carrier." Susan Rabin

So many things are going on during Women’s History Month – it seems honoring women is something we celebrate with enthusiasm and passion. I just wanted to share a few of the women I know doing their part to make their mark during Women’s History Month.

Beverly Mahone Author, Whatever! A Baby Boomer's Journey Into Middle Age is sponsoring a "Women on the Move and Making History" Contest, where one lucky winner will receive $75 for guessing the correct answers. Another winner will receive $25. The questions won't be easy but I'll be offering a hint :) THERE IS A CATCH...... You must be a subscriber to my Live to Be Drama Free Newsletter because only the subscribers will be eligible to enter this contest. You can subscribe by going to her website: http://www.talk2bev.com

Rebecca White of HYTR Radio in Toledo is going to do a show on National Women’s History Month. Stay tuned… more information to follow.

Angel Brown Women’s Business Gallery - created a whole month's worth of Women's History weekly assignments for her daughter, who is 14, and who she just started home schooling a couple of weeks ago. It's so important for young women to understand how far along we've come and how we can continue to shape the world from the female perspective. What a great opportunity to help her daughter further develop into the amazing young woman she's already blossoming into!

Bea Kunz of Sagehill Farms and a friend are hosting a luncheon next week for the women leaders in their city. They plan to use the resources they garner through these contacts to research and make available to the local library the history of one or two women who played a vital role in the founding of their city/county.

WAIT! There’s more…

I will be posting events as they are sent to me. If you are a hosting an event in celebration of WHM, drop me a note at Heidi (at) wecai.org with “WHM Event” in the subject line.

Be sure to register for the Virtual Woman’s Day™ Online Conference taking place on Thursday, March 15, 3007 – there is absolutely no charge to attend. Just enter your email address and name in the boxes on the right of the blog. Looking forward to helping you promote YOU!

Heidi and Suzannah
