We are very Fortunate Women!!!

I LOVE MY LIFE!!!

We are very fortunate women... and, we are so fortunate to be women in the United States of America...

We are thinking globally and passing it on! Tonight we discussed ways that we could make small impacts on the world afar through micro donations and micro investments...Below are some of the causes and sites we discussed. They are all equally amazing and powerful!

Every year March 8th is celebrated around the world as International Women's Day...tonight we celebrated and reflected!

What is Kiva? Kiva lets you lend to a specific entrepreneur in the developing world-empowering them to lift themselves out of poverty! Look-we can really make a difference :)

    For anyone interested in Scottsdale Leadership, please let me know. It's an incredible nine-month program that I'm involved in right now and I'm enjoying every minute of it. The goal is to make you aware of the history and vital issue of Scottsdale and ultimately create civic leaders for the future.

    There is an applicant reception on Wednesday, March 25 from 530 to 730p at the Phoenician to learn more about the core program. The cost is free and food and drinks will be served.

    Email me at jami.clark@hotmail.com if you're interested in attending or have any questions.

    You can also visit ScottsdaleLeadership.org for an application. The early bird deadline is April 1 and the final deadline is May 15. The program costs $2,000 but scholarships are available and many employers pay the tuition.
