In 1991, The Women's Foundation of Greater Kansas City commissioned an eight-county community-wide study (Women in the Heart of America: Concerns, Needs and Priority Issues for the 1990s) to obtain, for the first time in the history of the community, baseline research on the needs and priorities of Kansas City women and girls. The study examined the significance of six major categories: education, employment and finance, family and child welfare, health, quality of life, and violence toward women and children. Findings from that initial study were used by The Women's Foundation to construct targeted strategies, services, and programs to better meet the basic needs of women and girls in Kansas City.

Today, fifteen years later, The Foundation has replicated the study to determine if the needs and priorities of Kansas City women and girls have changed. The Foundation will share the study findings at a community forum on Friday, November 14, 2008. Key community stakeholders are invited to attend and offer their input in the development of solutions targeting the pervasive problems that keep women and girls in our community from reaching their full potential.

Dr. Barbara Gault, Vice President and Director of Research from the Institute for Women's Policy Research will be the forum's guest speaker. Dr. Gault will help translate the research findings and suggest solutions to help the community and The Women's Foundation make a real difference in women's lives in Kansas City.

 

When:    Friday, November 14, 2008, Registration 9:30 AM
              Presentation, lunch and focus groups: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Where:   UMKC Pierson Auditorium, 50^th & Rockhill Road, Kansas City, MO 64110

Holiday Mom¢s Makeover (pay it forward)

 

Hello, 

The Holidays are a time of celebration and everyone wants to make it extra special for the children but this year we would also like to include the Mom¢s.

There are many moms, single moms and caregivers who give unconditionally and never take time for themselves.  This is for the mom who does not have the opportunity or the money to have a professional style their hair, apply their makeup, and then find that perfect outfit to make them feel and look wonderful. 

My friend Anna Tarr and I have decided to make this a possibility for 200 deserving women.

On Sunday December 21^st from 12 to 5 we will be holding a Holiday Moms Make-over.

Mr Mitso Sato of Mitso Sato Hair Academy at 91st and Metcalf will be donating his salon space.  We have 30-hair stylist that are donating their time. We have a photographer that will be taking before and after pictures.

Each woman will receive:

Professional hairstyle and cut

Facials and makeovers

Photograph of them self

Nice outfit for the holidays

Gift bag

Flowers

We need your help too.

Donations:

• Gently worn clothing, jewelry and shoes (something nice and maybe a little on the dressy side) items not used will be donated to a local church
• Inspirational books as gifts and inspirational signs to hang on the walls
• Walmart gift cards to purchase new undergarments and socks
• Make up for the make-overs
• Bottled water

Volunteers

We are looking for happy, energetic; men and women who feel that they can inspire others

This is going to be a day of inspiration and fun you will want to be a part of.

• Check in at the salon
• Organizing donations
• Clothing selection and fitting the day of
• To apply make-up .  You don¢t have to be a professional to do this
• And other various duties that may arise, I¢m sure there will be many duties we haven¢t even thought of
• Help set positive goals for the future

If you have a great idea that we can add please do not hesitate to step up.  

                               

If you aspire to do something, it's because you also possess the potential to do it.

The part that stops most people before they even get started is working through their fears -- the limiting beliefs that they're not good enough, worthy enough, smart enough . . . and the list goes on.

Lets make this a day where women believe that they have the potential.

We are hoping this experience will encourage the women to see what the possibilities are for them and they can encourage others.

Ever since I was little I was told the Holidays are about giving to others.  This is a bad year for so many people and it doesn¢t cost a thing to give of your time or your gently used items.

Thank you,
