She will talk about Habitat for Humanity's work in the East Bay, explain how she and Habitat for Humanity is dealing with poverty on a very personal level, explain ways that people can contribute with labor and financial donations and also answer questions. Hopefully, there will be a new home-owning family present to also provide their perspective. They will tell their story in a very powerful and eloquent way.
Come learn about this amazing organization that is changing lives in the East Bay and breaking the cycle of poverty…one family at a time.



 
A Woman’s Voice

A Woman’s Voice is a series of talks given by women with a passion. The talks provide an opportunity for women to freely voice their ideas and causes that they feel passionately about in a space unencumbered by external structures. 



The Hillside Club:

The Hillside Club was founded in 1897 by a group of Berkeley women who wished to protect the hills of their town from "unsightly grading and the building of unsuitable and disfiguring houses." Since that time it has been a social center for cultural and artistic programs. Their regular events include community events, concerts, talks, dances, art shows, movies, and much more.
