Seasons Greetings,
I'm forwarding information about Sisters Acquiring Financial Empowerment (SAFE). Their mission is to equip survivors of domestic violence with the appropriate financial tools & resources needed to enable women to leave or recover from the economic portion of domestic violence. The founder and executive director, Kalyn Risker, is a good friend and an inspiration to me. I have personally donated my time and services to the organization.
 
SAFE is having their 2nd Annual Appreciation Event Tuesday December 11th, 2007 at the Woodward Restaurant from 5:30-7:30pm.. There will be a silent auction with donated items from Coach, Starbucks, DETNY, Powerhouse Gym and Dentist Sanjiv Shah. Plus The Michigan Chronicle and Michigan Front page are donating subscriptions to the first 50 attendees. Please join me in showing your support for such a worthy cause. Purchase your tickets today and spread the word to your contact list. Thank You.
