Pampered Chef FUNdraiser

GJWHF will be hosting a Pampered Chef FUNdraiser on Saturday, June 25 from 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM at the Purdue Room. The Purdue Room is located at University Park apartments clubhouse which is across Highway 421 from Purdue North Central.

Have you seen the new catalog?? It's pretty fantastic!

June Guest Special: Spend $60 and get a FREE Pampered Chef sauce.

If you are unable to attend, but would like to place an order, go to www.pamperedchef.biz/ruthiehankins, click "Shop Online" and enter PNCWA as the First Name. This will ensure funds are credited to the fundraiser.

Proceeds from the show will go to Van for Steven.
Steven is a local fifth grade boy who has Progressive Spastic Paralysis. Despite painful injections and surgeries, this once active boy now spends much of his time in a wheelchair. Transportation has become an issue for Steven as his wheelchair weighs 270 pounds and is being pushed up and down a portable ramp. Because of the weight of the chair and the issues transporting it, the chair remains at school most days. A handicap accessible van has been located for Steven, but cost is a prohibiting factor. As a result, GJWHF has decided to donate the FUNdraiser proceeds to Van for Steven. Additional information can be found at http://www.communityofhands.org/

"Top Girls"

GJWHF is getting together on Friday, October 1 at 7:00 PM for "Top Girls" performance by PNC Theatre. The performance is located on PNC's campus in LSF 002. The ladies may go out for dessert after the show.

“Top Girls” is set in 1980s Britain during the time of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. “Top Girls” has been described as a “hilarious, brilliant, searching play about the changing lives of women in the modern world.”
The play begins, with the character Marlene being named managing director of an employment agency for women called Top Girls. She goes to dinner to celebrate with friends, but the friends show up from all over the world and hundreds of years in the past, if they ever lived at all - a notable guest is the mythical Pope Joan. This presents a rowdy, energetic forum for reflecting on the achievement of women against impossible odds.
The rest of the play looks farther into the choices and sacrifices Marlene has made to get where she is, whether such achievements can be passed on to children and what happens to those left behind.

No RSVP necessary and it's FREE!!
See you there!
