My compliments on your WIAIPA website. It is wonderfully informative and attractively done. We wish you all the best for your upcoming event and wish we could be part of it. Perhaps another year.

Hello!

I stumbled onto your organization through the Off the couch Gang. I sang for one of their functions. I am interested in the support that you give for domestic violence, because I am recently a survivor of violence from my husband. My ten year old son and I now live in an apartment after having to leave our home rather quickly. My abuser is now incarcerated for 1-3 years.I don't know what I would have done without help from family, friends, and Turning Point. I would like to be able to help other women.

Thank-you from someone who's lived the horrors of abuse!

Sincerely,

Lynn

Dear Gloria,

Belated, but sincere, thanks for the note cards for the judges of the Schadt Competition. They really like them and were most appreciative. Hope all is well. Best regards, Ellen Kern

Gloria-
I had no idea how involved your organization was. . . I really am taken back by the website and all that you have done and continue to do! I hope that in some way I can contribute to what you have started with the WIAIPA. Thank you for this opportunity to learn more about it.

Speaking as one who has been there, I am so grateful for the important work you're doing with battered women. Thank you on behalf of the far too many women who have suffered at the hands of those with an ignorant need for dominance and power that is far too prevalent in our society. Love, Brenda

Dear Gloria
Just wanted to let you now how much my family appreciated your dedicating the evening to my sister, Your wonderful ways will bring lots of great things in the future for you. I will help your organization in any way I can. I am e-mailing your greatness to Meredith Allan and you will be hearing from her soon I hope. I also wanted to apologize for the lengthy stories about Robin on Friday I didn't expect it to take as long as it did. I was going to say a couple of things and cut them short I was a little embarrassed when Tiffany spoke but she is really hurting again my apology. I hope we didn't wear out our welcome. The things I see you do for the community are overwhelming Gloria and I think you deserve a lot more admiration. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, please keep in touch and lets do more greatness.

Gloria, Women In Art In Pennsylvania Dinner/Fashion Show, Art auction, and longaberger basket auction was a wonderful success! GREAT JOB for all your hard work in planning and organizing this very special event. And I KNOW you worked hard for this as any other event you are involved in. GOOD JOB. JUST SO YOU KNOW - ALL YOUR HARD WORK DID NOT GO UNNOTICED!! Deb

Thank you for the Footsteps gift.....it is one of my favorite stories ever!! Thanks also for the fine job you did at your event. It was wonderful to be able to be there. Be well. ELAINE W.

It's a shame...the local papers had no excuse not to do a story on our event...do they only want to publicize the bad and never the good? WIAIPA is doing so much good for all involved...it should have been on the front page!!!

Thanks it was fun. My sister and I enjoyed ourselves. You did an excellent job, so did all your helpers. I can't imagine all the time and effort involved in getting it all together. You deserve a round of applause. You make a big difference not only to all the people who benefit from the fundraising but to the people who enjoy the event as well. Great job!

P.S. I don't usually win things. The wine rack was the biggest prize I've ever won.

I am very happy for all of your artists that last night was a success and
I hope the next one will be even better. Anyone that was there last
night could not have had anything negative to say about the evening.
A GREAT start for a WONDERFUL PURPOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deb
