Dear WENH members,
Each year, WENH holds a holiday charity luncheon benefitting women or children in the Greater Houston area. This year's event will be held on Friday, December 7, at 11:30 a.m. at the Houstonian. We are excited to announce that Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison will be the keynote speaker at this year's event. The Senator will discuss energy issues and provide an update from Capitol Hill. At the end of her speech, WENH will present her with an award for her contribution to the energy industry. This year's beneficiary is Girls Inc. of Greater Houston. Girls Inc. is a wonderful organization that helps girls from all walks of life become strong, smart, and bold in order to achieve their full potential. Proceeds from the event will help fund such programs as Operation S.M.A.R.T., which gives girls hands-on experience with math, science, and technological applications. Sixty percent of the girls that are served belong to racial and ethnic minority groups; more than fifty percent of the girls come from families living below the poverty level; and over half are from single parent households, most of which are headed by women. You will soon receive a fund-raising packet in the mail. Please take a few minutes and forward it to the partners in your firm, your charitable contributions, governmental affairs, public affairs, and/or human resources departments, or other decision-makers as appropriate. We will mail the event invitations in early November. Individual ticket prices are $60 for WENH members and $75 for guests. We anticipate a sell-out, so after you have received your invitation, please remit your payment at your earliest convenience. Due to the large number of people we are expecting, walk-ins will not be accepted and any cancellations will be considered donations to Girls Inc. The Houstonian will be beautifully decorated for the holidays, and the ballroom has recently been remodeled. So, mark your calendars and join us for our charity gala! This is one event you won't want to miss! Carol McCutcheon Special Events Director <<HOLIDAY CHARITY GALA ANNOUNCEMENT.doc<< - HOLIDAY CHARITY GALA ANNOUNCEMENT.doc
