October 2010


Friends of WEV,
Please enjoy our October newsletter!
-The WEV Team

Alumni Step Up

WEV needs you! At a time when WEV’s training programs and small business loans are needed more than ever, funding shortfalls threaten our ability to continue to provide program services at their current level.

Alumni Campaign Photo2

Our alumni have stepped up with a wave of support. Cassie Woods of the Children’s Therapy Network in Ventura filmed an online video  to recruit her fundraising team.

Talia Wunder of Devone Design Perfect Fit Jewelery and Kristin Anderson of Lime Green Monkey have both taken up the call by creating online fundraising pages through Givezooks. Check out Talia and Kristin’s easy-to-create pages.

Fundraising events are popping up all over the two counties. Come out to reconnect with your fellow alumni and support an organization that has made a difference in the lives of so many people. Read more below about upcoming events and how to get involved.

How will you help?

Learn more about the WEV Alumni challenge!
