Do you want to get to know other professional women but just don't have the opportunity? Would you also like to help out a charity interested in helping children succeed in high-paying, in-demand STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) careers? Then consider joining Edheads' Donor Circle! What's a Donor Circle, you ask? It's a group of women that meet regularly to socialize, get to know each other and develop lifelong friendships while also helping to brainstorm ideas and solutions to problems for a charity - in this case, Edheads. Edheads is a nonprofit that develops free, online educational games (www.edheads.org) for K-12 students that tie their classroom curricula to real world STEM careers. With a minimal commitment (a couple of hours a month or less), you can join this group and use your brain to help us while getting to know a great group of professional women that care! Please indicate if you would prefer to join the weekday lunch group or the weeknight dinner group. We meet once a month or once every other month.
