Engage and Be Engaged: Membership Recruitment Event

On Wednesday, October 5, 2001, the Women Give San Diego members gathered at Barbara Bry’s beautiful home on Mount Soledad. Despite the rainy evening, we had 82 women attend the gathering.

Linda Katz opened the evening up with a history and overview of Women Give. She gave an update on our co-Founder, the Brain Warrior, “June” Tuttleman who is inspiring us all with her strength and determination.

Bunmi Esho, Membership Team Chair, was our official mistress of ceremonies and commanded the room with the tinkle of her bell. Each attendee was assigned to a small group and rotated through five stations with the help of their “shepherds”.

Three of the stations had roundtable discussions with our grantees:

· Dress for Success

· Supportive Parents Information Network

· Just in Time

The other two stations engaged attendees in discussion:

· At the membership station, Gayle and Linda informed women of the benefits of membership and how the ladies could get involved.

· At the networking station, attendees were provided an opportunity to engage and speak with other guests. There were question prompts to help the women engage in conversation with one another.

After each group rotated through the stations, Gayle Tauber wrapped up the evening with some final comments and thoughts encouraging attendees to join our incredible and dynamic members to raise the economic status of women and girls in San Diego.
