Have you ever wondered how NAWIC was born, what members wore to banquets 50 years ago or who the library at NAWIC headquarters is named after? Even if you haven't, NAWIC is offering a great chance to learn about your Association for free.
While supplies last, you can order a numbered, limited edition of the official NAWIC history, "Blueprint for Success: NAWIC Celebrates its First 50 Years," and pay only $5 per book for shipping and handling. Does your chapter have a copy? If not, it's a great tool to introduce new members to the history and traditions of the Association. Order today, before they're gone for good.
Reaching statewide for donations and volunteers for their
2012 Women Build Project
Habitat’s Women Build program challenges women to build a better future for our nation’s children and legacy of volunteerism for their own children.
Women can actively address the problem of children in substandard housing and be part of the solution - one house, one family at a time.
The family has been chosen for the 2012 Women Build home - A single mom with 3 children. Details on the family to be given later.
A Women Build site provides a less intimidating environment for women to learn to build Habitat for Humanity homes for families in need.
Our goal is to have the entire house constructed by skilled and volunteer women. Men will not be excluded but will act in the capacity of “teacher-only” in situations where we do not have skilled women to provide the service or instruction.
Plans are in the works to include women students from our local community college and high schools.
Discussions are in progress regarding the involvement of local trades women to act as mentors to the women building crews.
Women volunteers will be given special training through a series of workshops provided by Lowes in Medford - one of the major sponsors of Women Build.
