MADISON — The Wisconsin Women of Color Network, Inc. will host its annual scholarship fund-raising event on Saturday, Dec. 1 at the Double Tree Hotel, 525 West Johnson Street, Madison, Wisconsin. Once a year WWOCN appeals to its members, family and friends to raise money for the Wisconsin Women of Color Network Scholarship Fund.
There will be a buffet brunch. For your shopping spree, there will be a silent auction with lots of donated products and services including celebrity meals. Women of color and other vendors will sell a variety of arts and crafts such as ceramics, fabrics, purses, jewelry and other accessories including cosmetics. This is an ideal place to buy many great gifts to fit your budget.
Gia Euler-Plath, Erin Euler, Denise Thomas, Noelle Reyes, and Lesli Vazquez are honorary co-chairpersons of the 2012 Host Committee and also serve as event leaders. The entertainment consists of the usual Holiday Sing-Along that includes our traditional songs and those from various cultures.
The WWOCN Scholarship Fund is an umbrella for several specific awards given each year. Our goal is to assist women in their pursuit of education, employment and economic independence. The Fund includes the Mabel Smith Memorial Scholarship, the Cammer-Hill Grant, the Hattie J. Hilliard Award, and the Future Leaders Fund.
