So it begins

I had a seed of an idea a while back, to do a Dominant Ladies only lunch/social but never really managed to get around to organising one despite numerous requests to do so on the heels of past events that I have organised.

Last year (2005) was a rather harrowing year for me within my own personal life and in many ways I was transformed by the experience - there were occasions when I did not feel all that Dominant or in control as other life tsunamis showed themselves and in those times I have always been thankful for the support of my girlfriends who have rallied around me in the way that really only other womyn can do. (I know it's completely sexist - so what)

I know you've heard the schpeil so I'll make it as brief as possible. Cancer and cancer related conditions affect quite a number of Womyn and so the cause is not new but of late it seems to have touched the lives of those I hold dear to my heart - particularly cancer of the womb/cervix.


So today I decided to get off my arse and do something about it. I contacted cancer research and they will be sending me an informational pack on hosting a fund raiser. I'd like to make it official ofcourse and really do something in memory of as well as for those that I hold dear both in my heart and mind. I've got a venue on board, limosine services for people who need picking up and dropping off, catering and some assorted bits and pieces. My personal goal would be to raise atleast £1,000 but I'm keeping the estimate real at a £400 min fund raiser from the luncheon itself.
I'm cobbling a few quick webpages together to deseminate more information about the event which I'll publish as soon as possible.

For now the bare bones of it is as follows :

Date : 20th May 2006 (Saturday)
Time : 12:00 noon - 5:00pm
Venue : DVHQ One.
(Exact location is disclosed only to confirmed attendees)

I'd gladly welcome other Ladies who'd like to help out ofcourse and over the course of the weeks leading up to the event I will post all updates to both here and the website.

Sincerely

Vio.
