Strong Alone, Fearless Together

May 2007

Dear Friend:

Please consider becoming a member fo the YWCA Cass Clay. As a member, you will be part of the largest and oldest women's membership movements in the world. But more importantly, you're making a difference in our local community. Last year alone, 801 women and 632 children sought emergency shelter at the YWCA and each of them has a story to tell.

"That weekend had been a long and brutal one...I was exhausted and beaten down...Monday morning he finally left to go to work and as I watched his car leave, I knew that I had to be gone before he returned home. It was a brief moment - a decision make in a glimpse - but it lead to my freedom."

-Angela, Fargo

Like Angela, many women and children have experienced domestic violence and have no where else to turn. It costs $50 a day to provide shelter and supportive services to a woman and her child.

Your support is greatly appreciated. You can become a member by calling (701)232-2547 and speaking with our Development Director. Thank you for your commitment to women and children.

Sincerely,

Judy Green
Executive Director

P.S. Become a member today; your gift truly makes a difference.
