VOICES FOR JUSTICE was the program for our Spring Gathering. It was a great program and so appropriate for issues facing women today. The program is now divided into 3 sections, each suitable for a Circle meeting or discussion with any group of women that want to learn more about using their voices for justice. All of the materials are available on the Resources page of this website.
The Annual Gathering is June 23-25
at Lenior-Rhyne
It will be wonderful to gather together again!
New NC State-wide Officers and Board members will be elected at the Annual Gathering in June.

More information about the Annual gathering will be posted here soon. I hope to see you there!
