CFUW Kitchener-Waterloo President strikes city wide organization for women’s groups
Ruth Russell, understands the power of women to create change in their communities. So, she struck on the idea of creating an umbrella organization that will help women’s groups come together to share ideas and resources.
“It was in the back of my mind,” said Russell. “I know several organizations exist in other cities.”
With the support of the Social Planning Council of Kitchener-Waterloo, Russell will host a breakfast meeting Feb. 11 at the Waterloo Region Record’s Canada Room, where representatives from women’s groups in Kitchener and Waterloo will be encouraged to talk about their organization’s various projects.
“We might be able to accomplish a lot more, together,” said a hopeful Russell. “A lot of women’s groups have similar goals.”
