“…we seek to discover an authentic vision for peaceful and harmonious relations between all living beings. For the creation of peace is not just the absence of conflict and war in the world, but rather, also the evolution of our collective capacities for true care and collaboration. Our quest for peace is the upward surge we make together towards the development of our collective human potentials…” — From Women on the Edge of Evolution web site

Some important upcoming events

The Dare To Dream Breakfast

5th Annual Girl Grant Awarded

Our annual Girl Grant supports girls between the ages of thirteen and seventeen. It gives a "hand up" to young women who might not receive recognition in the traditional ways but could use this validation of their self-worth. One or more grants are given annually in the amount of $200 - $500.

This year's Girl Grant winner has been awarded to Jackie Stinson, a 9th grader at Skyline High School. Jackie moved to Front Royal last fall from Florida with her mother. They were fleeing a domestic violence situation and resided at Harmony House until they were able to find a safe place to live. Jackie, a straight A student, wanted a lap top computer to help her with her studies. She hope to study veterinary science when she graduates from high school. Mary Ellen is working with Royal Oak Computers to purchase a good lap top for Jackie.

We thank Beatrice Von Gontard and all of you who designated funds to make this grant possible. We are forever grateful to Mary Ellen South whose heart-felt dedication to young women brought this grant program into being.

Easy Fundraising for the WRC

Want an easy way to help your favorite local women's organization – FRWRC? Just use Good Search for all your search needs as well as your starting point for purchases online. It costs you nothing and FRWRC gets a small percentage of money based on your activity. Here is how it works:

1. Go to www.goodsearch.com
2. Look for the statement in the grayed out box Who do you search for?
3. In the box directly underneath this question type in Front Royal Women's Resource Center.
4. Click the verify button.
5. Our name should then appear under the question.
6. Now you can do all your searching using the Good Search search box!
7. You can also shop from this site by clicking on the “shop now” button.

Any time you spend money online – as long as you go through www.goodsearch.com a portion gets donated to FRWRC. Even simple searching can generate a little bit, and all that can add up quickly. It’s really that simple!

Just be sure to make the goodsearch page your home page, or use the link on the left of the page, and every time you go to the page we'll already be listed as your preferred charity and be credited with proceeds.
