The Women & Girls’ Fund at Main Street Community Foundation presents this special CPTV screening.
The documentary features the stories of eight Connecticut women who share a common desire to be part of a collective effort – serving as leaders, trailblazers, artists, educators, advocates and entrepreneurs. These women are just some of the multitudes of women in our communities who through their daily work, drive the movement forward.
The event is free and open to the public; light refreshments will be served. To RSVP, contact Julie Matthews at Main Street Community Foundation at 860.583.6363 or julie@mainstreetfoundation.org.
