MARK YOUR CALENDARS

IT'S SINGLE WORKING WOMEN'S WEEK!!! (July 29th-August 4th)

**taken from the Single Working Women's Affiliate Network website:

"SWWANs share in the joy as their friends celebrate impending marriages with showers, bachelorette parties, weddings. It's not unusual to spend a boatload of cash on these celebrations for friends going into a 2-income situation. Until now, one-income single working women have had no official occasion to celebrate like those for their getting-married friends.

What happens during Single Working Women's Week?
Single Working Women's Week is a chance to celebrate your courage and creativity. It's also a chance for those who love and respect you to help you celebrate. It's an excuse for them to shower you with cards and attention.

Single Working Women's Week is a week all its own--not connected with any other holiday--so your celebration can be undiluted. It's just for you and your single working women friends and colleagues. it's a great opportunity for the people you love and cherish and serve to show you how much they appreciate all you do. "

Single Working Women's Week is a relatively new national observance. Please feel free to visit the SWWAN website at http://www.swwan.org/ to find out more about the observance and what you can do to celebrate, or help a friend or loved one celebrate.

**Now on to my soap box!

We ALL know women in our lives who work like slaves, carrying 1, 2, or even 3 jobs just to make ends-meet. Some of these same women have children to support--mouths to feed, tuition to pay, etc. Well here's the opportunity to show them how much we appreciate their contributions to our families, businesses, and society as a whole. Single women, working to support themselves and/or children deserve a round of applause, a pat-on the back, a standing ovation and much, much more.

This post is dedicated to the Single Working Women in MY life:
