Wine & Learn - January 28, 2021
Women United of Lake County invites you to attend their virtual Wine & Learn on January 28, 2021 to learn how this amazing group of women mobilizes leaders and resources in Lake County, while connecting and having fun through philanthropy.
Women United is a group of over 100 women who strengthen the community through philanthropy, leadership and volunteerism. The group is flexible so women can choose their level of involvement and there is a ‘no guilt’ policy because all those attracted to Women United are generally very busy people. As donors to United Way, we lead by example to ensure that Lake County’s most vulnerable children are prepared for kindergarten and ready to succeed. Now is a great time to learn more about this fabulous group and the community-minded women who are involved.
