We like to document the work we do and the people who participate in Women's Service Day, and this year was no exception. You can view photos from the event online, and order prints through Kodak Gallery if you'd like your own copies.
Thanks again to everyone who participated! Stay tuned for plans for next year, our 10th Annual Women's Service Day, set for October 6.

We'd love to hear your stories!
We've counted up the numbers, and can report that we had 90 women serving 12 agencies throughout the Women's Service Day yesterday. We also contributed over $1,000 to Hospice of Holland, the results of our auction and raffle. We didn't count up the pounds of cheese in the breakfast strata; we'll save that for another time.
If you participated in the day, you'll soon receive a request for your feedback. And if you have any stories about what you did or who you met, feel free to share them in comments here.
Thanks again for joining us for a day of service to women and children in our community!

The speediest thank-you!
Before we'd even gotten back to our computers after our event yesterday, we'd received a thank-you note from the resource coordinator at Community Action House. We'll follow up with a more complete summary of the day, but this note captured the spirit, so we wanted to pass it along:
"A little note to express a big ‘Thank You’ to you and all the ladies who served our community today. I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful crew of women [on...] Pine Avenue. This home is a transitional housing residence maintained by Community Action House. I saw other women working on various projects throughout our city. How sweet is that!
"Kristen, Kristi, Karen and Amy were willing workers and did a great job of painting doors, trim, a pillar and an upper level deck railing with lots of spindles. Their great work was only overshadowed by their positive and pleasant attitudes. They did a splendid job and even performed a great cleanup of the area and tools from the job. They jokingly challenged me to attend the breakfast next year as they related that there were no men attending this year’s breakfast. How sad. I will do my best to attend the 2011 Women’s Service Day breakfast.
"Please feel free to pass on this ‘Thank You’ from Community Action House to those you feel would like/need to read it. You ladies are THE BEST!"
