What’s IndieBound?
IndieBound is a socially-conscious movement in support of independent businesses and shopping locally, starting with indie bookstores. It’s about raising awareness, it’s about reaching out, and it’s about taking pride in your community. It's about what makes your city, town, neighborhood more interesting places.
The mission of the IndieBound.org community is to help people across the United States find and support independently owned businesses. By connecting indie-conscious people with local businesses, IndieBound works to strengthen the health of neighborhoods and Main Streets across the United States.
Among other services, the IndieBound program prints a monthly book recommendation flyer with reviews by independent bookstores across the country. Be sure and pick one up when you next come into the store!
Anniversary Celebration and Benefit Re-cap
The months and days preceding Women & Children First's 30th anniversary celebration were often frenzied-meeting, planning, and then executing all the various tasks involved. The work of everyone who made generous donations of time and talent resulted in a wonderful evening: everyone we talked to said, "I had a wonderful time and could have partied on for hours!"
Besides wanting to share an evening of entertainment and community, we also had a fundraising goal--$1000 for each of W&CF's 30 years. We are thrilled to say that we met that goal, netting $30,000 for the Women's Voices Fund.
We met our goal because of all of you who spent hours and hours working before and during the event; all of you who purchased tickets, sponsored the event, and urged your friends to do likewise; all of you who spent time on the stage and playing music that evening; all of you who donated auction items; all of you who prepared, donated, and served food and drink; those of you who donated the space and those of you who made it look enchanting; those of you who spent the evening capturing people and events on film and video; those of you who worked on gathering material for the Women & First archive and for a project on the Women's Movement in Chicago.
We at Women & Children First have full hearts and an enormous sense of gratitude for all your help and support. Thank you.
