At this book club style event\, we’ll explore Kristen Hannah’s powerful bestselling novel The Women—a story of a young nurse who serves during the Vietnam War and comes home to a country that does not always recognize what women have sacrificed\, endured\, and built. It is a story about courage\, invisibility\, resilience\, and the long arc of being seen. Hannah’s work also offers a meaningful lens through which we can reflect on our own experiences and the impact we make through the Women’s Giving Circle. \nIf you have not had a chance to read the book — come anyway! This is—first and foremost—a gathering of women who care about our community and each other. The conversation will welcome everyone\, reader or not. \nThe conversation will naturally draw connections between the novel and the real experiences of women and girls in our own region — the challenges they face\, the strength they carry\, and the difference our giving circle makes in creating opportunity and support for those who need it most. \nThis is our final gathering before June’s voting event\, which makes it an especially meaningful moment to come together. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Bring a friend. Nonprofit leaders are warmly welcome. \nSupport Women at Connecticut State Community College\nWe invite attendees to consider bringing a donation of feminine hygiene or personal care items to support women attending CT State Community College Naugatuck Valley. The college provides free\, accessible menstrual products for students across its campus locations\, helping ensure that no student must miss class or face unnecessary hardship due to a lack of basic necessities.

Resources are stretched\, needs are growing\, and the pressure to do more never seems to let up. We also know that good things happen when community-minded people are in the same space\, helping each other to meet common goals — and that’s exactly what we’re counting on! \nIn that spirit\, the City of Waterbury and Connecticut Community Foundation invite Waterbury nonprofit leaders to connect with local financial institutions that have real resources and solutions to offer. This is not a traditional tabling event. You can expect meaningful\, structured conversations about grants\, loans\, lines of credit\, CRA-aligned partnerships\, and other tools that can support your program growth and long-term sustainability. \nCome ready to ask questions\, make connections\, and leave with clearer pathways to funding\, new institutional relationships\, and practical insights you can put to work right away. We encourage you to bring a brochure or a brief fact sheet to share\, and look forward to seeing you there! \nPlease RSVP below by Thursday\, April 30. \n\n \n \n Tuesday\, May 12\, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.\nCity Hall\, Veterans Memorial Hall\n235 Grand Street\nWatertbury\, CT \n "*" indicates required fields \n \n \n Step 1 of 3\n \n \n 33%\n \n \n RegistrantName*\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n Email*Email Address\n \n Cell Phone*Organization/Business* Job Title* Have you attended a Connecticut Community Foundation event before?\n \n \n This is my first time attending a Connecticut Community Foundation event.\n \n \n \n I have attended an event hosted by Connecticut Community Foundation in the past.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Additional AttendeesListFirst Name (required)Last Name (required)Email Address (optional)Phone (optional)Occupation/Organization/Business (optional)  Add Remove\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Special AccommodationsDietary restrictions/food allergies (optional)Please list any dietary restrictions and food allergies for this registration:Accommodation requests (optional)Please list any accommodation requests for this registration: You should receive a confirmation email after submitting your registration.Newsletter\n \n Sign me up for periodic news and information from Connecticut Community Foundation\n Note:We will be taking photos of this event for use on our website\, social media\, and print marketing materials.
