What is a WomanSage Chapter? A WomanSage chapter is a group of 20 or more women who come together with the purpose of following the WomanSage Mission of empowering, educating and fostering mentoring relationships among midlife women with monthly salons which give women an opportunity to network with others of like interest. WomanSage National has created a news-based website, a quarterly newsletter and annual conferences, which the local chapters can tap into along with guidance from the Chapter Development committee.

  West Los Angeles
We usually meet the third Wednesday of each month.

NOTE: Because my participation in the election took up so much time and because I leave for Atlanta on Nov. 20 I have canceled the November 19 meeting. I don't usually let anything interfere with our meetings but truthfully this election was exhausting and time consuming. I need time out to get ready for a very important wedding in my family in Atlanta Nov. 23. I know you will understand. Please mark your calendars for Wednesday DEC.17.

Gloriana Chung will tell us about her trip to Africa as a missionary this past summer. She is a science teacher for very advanced students as a job. I had dinner with her and after hearing about the trip I persuaded her to share those experiences with us. You will feel rewarded for your time spent. Truly ! Since it is the beginning of the holiday season,Chanukah and Christmas, we thought it would be fun to have a potluck dinner instead of snacks. I will order potato pancakes (my days of standing and frying 10 pounds of potatoes is over) and have sour cream and the usual wine and drinks. Bring whatever soul food makes you feel good this time of the year.

TIME: 7:00 P.M.
PLACE: 4331 Mentone Ave. Culver City 90232

Please R.S.V.P. sadiesadie@earthlink.net or (310) 838-4576.
