Imagine a world where women's basic human rights are honored and protected. Now, imagine you being a part of creating this world. This experiential program will provide information about Amnesty International's role in women's rights and action steps you can take. It will also provide processes to release any ideas of separation and empower us to be a part in healing the planet. By using our collective energies, we can create a world we believe in. There will be a prayer ceremony at the end to send healing energy to women around the world, as well as a blessing for world leaders to act with courage and integrity.

This educational gathering provides information on how Amnesty International is supporting women’s rights through legislation and programs. You will also learn steps you can take to make a difference in the lives of women around the world. RSVP by calling Blue Summit, 333-1405.

Never in her wildest dreams did Sherry Helmke imagine she would find herself in Mumbai, India on International Women's Day in 2006. Using photos and conversation, we'll talk about the status of women she encountered in real life and in the media and how that status is changing as we speak. In addition, Sherry also will share stories of the strong, remarkable, women she met while traversing the country and how one woman in a remote farming village gave her the courage to live the life of her dreams. Please R.S.V.P. by Thursday, March 13. Call Blue Summit at 333-1405. Space is limited so reserve your spot soon.
