Treasurer

Just another reminder that we are just a few days from the UWF's Day of Giving celebrating the year we were founded, 1869. Two young women, Isabella Thoburn and Dr. Clara Swain were sent to India as the first female missionaries to India sent by our fore-mothers after collecting "pennies" for their travel and support. Today the Isabella Thoburn College is a remarkable college in Northern India, as is the Clara Swain Mission Hospital. This is an example of the saying "Where Methodist women go, so goes LOVE!"

Let's demonstrate our love for this wonderful women's mission organization, now the United Women in Faith, and the work we are doing around the world, by donating to the Legacy Fund. I have committed to $18.69 a month for the next year.... Ladies, that is one trip to a fast food restaurant. Let's raise more than we did last year and break some records.

Sunday, March 23, at 1pm, is a live-streamed event. For details you can visit UWFaith.org/dayofgiving. I have attached a Legacy Giving form and you will also find it on line at VAUWF.org. Scroll down to the listing of officers and under my name as treasurer you will find a listing of forms including this one.

I leave you with this thought.... "It is our ability to come together and take action that creates a positive impact around the globe, regardless of our culture or other reasons to find differences. There is power in our numbers, and the United Women in Faith excel at creating opportunities and solving challenges."
