Holiday Benefit Party
Share #346Letter from the Hamilton Family Center Staff
January 29, 2006
Dear Friends of Hamilton,
On behalf of the families we serve at Hamilton Family Center, thank you for taking part in our holiday gift drive. Your thoughtfulness during the season of giving brightened the lives of homeless families and children in crisis and offered hope for the future.
Hamilton Family Center just finished an extremely successful holiday season. Each of our five programs hosted holiday parties in which families celebrated the season with delicious holiday meals, festive music, and fun seasonal activities. I am especially pleased to let you know that, because of the overwhelming response we received from your group, and other members of the Bay Area community, all the families in our programs were "adopted" for the holidays and received gifts!
Once again, we are grateful that you joined with Hamilton Family Center to support homeless families as they strive to make changes in their lives and achieve independence and self-sufficiency. Happy New Year to you all!
Sincerely,
Hamilton Family Center Staff

OWA Mentorship Program
Share #350The Organization of Women Architects and Design Professionals is pleased to announce the OWA Mentorship Program.
This program is designed to help members take advantage of the wonderful diversity that is present within our group, from the unique perspective of being women design professionals.
Interested members will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire which establishes some key points that will be used to match mentors and "mentees". A database will be created which mentees may browse and search through in order to determine a match with the help of the Mentorship Program Coordinator. Any member may choose to be a mentor as well as a mentee at any time.
If you want to be either a mentor or a mentee, please go to the website to enroll. There you will find detailed instructions and further information. Currently the program is still being developed, but members are encouraged to sign up in order to initiate the process.
Thank you for your interest! We feel this will be a very rewarding part of the OWA membership experience.
