Hannah Warren Dinner Presentation

There will be a dinner on Monday, August 22 at the Legends in DePere beginning at 5:30 p.m. to raise money for Hannah Warren, past Ambassadorial Rotary Scholarship winner, who will talk about her journey and how she helped women in Varanasi, India by creating Jhoole, a company that uses the vast talents of Indian weavers to benefit people living in poverty and give Indian women the opportunity to learn to feed themselves. In this rural area, the wife’s income automatically becomes her husband’s spending money. All too often the women complained that their husbands spent all their hard earned money on gambling and liquor. They came up with a solution. Rather than getting all the money directly, they can choose to purchase things such as children’s school fees from a communal fund Jhoole weavers make recycled denim skorts, dresses, crushed cotton scarves, custom embroidered dresses and table runners. You can buy them at Just Goods, 201 Seventh Street in Rockford. For tickets to the dinner, please contact Thom Cody at tcody@pathmakers-inc.com.
