Dear GTW Sisters,

We are excited to welcome over 130 new women to our e-list, bringing the total of you receiving this newsletter to 350. We send out a local e-mail once a month and you may also receive periodic updates from GTW Global Matrix. If you do not receive anything from the Global Matrix and want to, just go to www.gatherthewomen.org and follow the prompts to enroll yourself. It's a great way to get the big picture and to see how we are all connected.

In this e-mail you will find the circles and events happening in April. If you have an idea or project you want to pursue with others, please come to the April 17 Follow-Up meeting (see info. below). It's your chance to enroll others and to gain support for what you want to contribute.

By connecting with other women heart to heart, we are able to step forward and create the world as we want it to be. Now is the time.

May you walk in beauty, Judith Hurley Prosser
