\t\t\t\tWowee, we will have a busy 2012 if we are able to\u00a0accommodate\u00a0everyone’s topic ideas. \u00a0Thanks for the detailed, creative input. \u00a0Upcoming gatherings may include topics such as self defense, Planned Parenthood, hypnotism, favorite things, social media, and election review. \u00a0Many gals are reaching out to business women and friends as possible guest speakers. \u00a0Please email me with contact names and numbers so that I can confirm schedules.<\/p>\n
During our gathering, part of the discussion revolved around my vision of Global Gals so I want to review my mission. \u00a0On the blog’s “About Us” page, I give a brief overview of why I started the group and what we have covered. \u00a0I say “Within a safe, friendly, supportive environment we have been able to educate ourselves about politics, financial security, public education, health issues and many other topics.\u00a0 For three years, we have participated in an adopt-a-family program over the holiday season.\u00a0 We take walks on the beach, we host jewelry parties, and try to have a little bit of fun.” \u00a0The vision states: “A\u00a0gathering of girlfriends to discuss women\u2019s and girls\u2019 issues and to make changes locally with the global environment in mind.”<\/p>\n
With that in mind, please come to the gatherings with an open mind and with listening ears. \u00a0We don’t pay our guest speakers, so remember that their time is valuable and be respectful of the presentation and discussion. <\/span>After the main topic is covered, people are welcome to stay to chat and catch up with each other. \u00a0You 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.<\/p>\n Anyone is welcome to email the group members regarding upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, or fundraisers. I would like to give everyone the\u00a0opportunity to ask for support from the members of Global Gals.\u00a0 You are welcome to host a happy hour, potluck dinner, or other social event at any time. \u00a0Our 2nd Thursday gatherings generally revolve around a main topic, but we also have social gatherings such as a walk on the beach.<\/p>\n Thanks for being part of Global Gals! \u00a0I appreciate everyone’s support and I hope you get as much out of Global Gals as I do. \u00a0I look forward to my Thursday nights and am thrilled to be going on year #5!<\/p>\n – Jules\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wowee, we will have a busy 2012 if we are able to\u00a0accommodate\u00a0everyone’s topic ideas. \u00a0Thanks for the detailed, creative input.…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-72","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ggg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/global-gals.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/global-gals.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/global-gals.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/global-gals.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/global-gals.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=72"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/global-gals.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/global-gals.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=72"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/global-gals.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=72"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/global-gals.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=72"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
