What brought you to ninety-nine girlfriends?

I learned about ninety-nine girlfriends from family and friends, and I was impressed with the positive impact of the organization.

What keeps you engaged/interested/connected?

I like learning about the work of nonprofits in our community. I enjoyed working on the environmental grant review team with dedicated, caring women who are now my friends. I am retired from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality so this team's work was particularly meaningful for me.

I appreciate the thoughtful leadership of ninety-nine girlfriends guiding us on how to respond to the changing needs of the greater Portland community and our Girlfriend community. The summer socials and small-group gatherings are fun and a good way to get to know our members.

What else would you like to share?

I am inspired by the passionate, compassionate women of ninety-nine girlfriends and the organizations we support.
