Run, Dianne, Run!

web_Dubai-Marathon-2010-7When Dianne Reed heard these words on January 21st, it wasn’t  to run away from terrorists as she did in 2004. This time, Dianne ran in the Dubai Marathon, completing 26 grueling miles, despite the eight reconstructive surgeries to her leg. Dianne sent a message to FAWCO friends  “.. I can't believe we finished!!  It was a great feeling and I don't think I could have done it without Jen or Leah.  They were amazing and didn't let me slack off or quit!! “ Here are the three of them just after they crossed the finish line.  FAWCO friends are so proud of Dianne. Congratulations!!! Dianne lives in Abu Dhabi, and has recently joined FAUSA because there is no AWC in Abu Dhabi. She’ll be in Boston in March for our Boston Conference.

 
FAWCO Emergency Relief activated for Haiti - please Donate Now !

logo-oxfamThe FAWCO Board has activated the FAWCO Emergency Relief Fund for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. All donations will be sent to Oxfam America, a highly respected and recognized charity based in Boston, with over three decades of experience in Haiti.   They are on the ground now and have the logistics in place to put our funds to work immediately. They have already started to provide clean water, shelter, and sanitation to the victims.  Oxfam is given a top 4-star rating by Charity Navigator, ensuring that every penny will be used wisely

As in the past in catastrophe situations, while people may choose to donate to their usual charities, the FAWCO ERF offers our members and clubs the opportunity to make an emergency donation alongside other FAWCO members, joining forces in a FAWCO-wide humanitarian effort.   With great regret that it should be needed, and this time so close to American shores, we invite individuals, clubs and friends to send their contributions immediately to:

For contributions by credit card or PayPal:

    Click FAWCO Foundation donation page. Select Donate to the General Fund on the right, this will take you to the PayPal page. Once you have completed that transaction, the next page gives you a box to "add special notes". Please type in "ERF" here. This is very important in expediting your donation to the Emergency Relief Fund.

For non-credit card donations in U.S. dollars:

check payable to FAWCO, mailed to

Turning Valentine's Day from Red to Green
We love the environment and we know you do too! To show our love, we have put together a list to help you turn your own Valentine's Day from Red to Green this year. This month’s bulletin has information on the environmental disadvantages - “what’s not to love” - about cut flowers, cards, jewelry, chocolates and paraffin candles. Luckily, there are greener options to keep the romantic ambiance in the day. We love Valentines Day and the heart behind it, and with a little thought on your part, you can show your heart for the environment as well!
