Please come to the gatherings with an open mind and with listening ears.  We don’t pay our guest speakers, so remember that their time is valuable and be respectful of the presentation and discussion. After the main topic is covered, people are welcome to stay to chat and catch up with each other.  You still may want to attend a gathering even if the topic doesn’t sound interesting because you may pick up just one tidbit that makes it worth your while.

Anyone is welcome to email the group members regarding upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, or fundraisers. I would like to give everyone the opportunity to ask for support from the members of Global Gals.

Thanks for being part of Global Gals!  I appreciate everyone’s support and I hope you get as much out of Global Gals as I do.  Heather put it nicely when she said to me “Thank you for hosting Global Gals and keeping the group going for so many years. This is one thing I do completely for myself that I look forward to it every month.”  Thanks to Heather for her kind words!

– Jules
