\"\"<\/a>There is a local organization called the Women’s Fund of Central Ohio<\/a>. \u00a0A nonprofit that supports and aids in the empowerment and development of women and girls. \u00a0A little snippet from their website:<\/p>\n

We stand for social change for women and girls.
\nWe are all bound to this purpose \u2013 and to one another \u2013 by these simple but powerful beliefs.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Potential is what you make of it.
\nEvery woman and every girl holds hope within her. She just needs time, energy and support to make it real.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

When you empower women and girls, all of society benefits.
\nWe believe, and research shows, that empowering women and girls impacts entire families and uplifts entire communities.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I was asked by them to help promote their big event!<\/p>\n

Each year the Women’s Fund puts on their Keyholder event which is all about celebrating women and girls by recognizing them as keyholders of change in the community. \u00a0This year the event is a big one and features Whoopi Goldberg as the keynote speaker!<\/p>\n

Here’s a little snippet from The Women’s Fund:<\/p>\n

The Women\u2019s Fund of Central Ohio<\/strong>\u00a0is excited to welcome special guest Whoopi Goldberg to Nationwide Arena on Friday, June 29th for Keyholder 2012. The Women\u2019s Fund\u2019s annual Keyholder event is a preeminent gathering in the central Ohio area, attracting thousands of people to honor the women and girls who have made a significant impact in their lives.\u00a0Tickets are on sale now for $50 each and all proceeds\u00a0are used to provide grants that promise social change for women and girls.\u00a0Call\u00a0614-225-9926<\/a>\u00a0to purchase tickets or stop by\u00a0http:\/\/womensfundcentralohio.org<\/wbr><\/a>\u00a0for more information. Connect with The Women\u2019s Fund on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0(@WomensFundCO).<\/wbr><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The women’s fund also asked if I would answer two questions related to their mission and their event<\/p>\n

1. What woman or girl has made the greatest impact in your life?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hands down my paternal grandmother. \u00a0She was a strong and caring woman who lived a life full of ups and downs. \u00a0She taught me that creating food with love will always be the best option. \u00a0Not to let someone stand in your way and always be yourself no matter what.<\/p>\n

2. What is one thing your readers can do this week, month or year to spark change in their community?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m sticking with food related suggestions and I’m going to say start shopping at your local markets more often. \u00a0By shopping at your local farmers markets and business you are helping to keep your community thriving while supporting others just like you.<\/p>\n

If your local area doesn’t have one, perhaps start the efforts in order to bring one to you! Everyone benefits from local resources!<\/p>\n

Again if you’re interested in going to the Keyholder event please go the the Women’s Fund of Ohio’s website <\/a>or call to purchase tickets!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
