Damascus Y-Woman

PURPOSE
The Damascus Y-Women is the local chapter of the YWCA - National Capital Area and is a not-for-profit organization. We have been helping women’s & children’s programs in the local community since 1971. Our mission: empowering women economically, politically and socially. We support the community through group as well as individual participation.

PROGRAMS
At each meeting, we have a scheduled speaker, demonstration or craft activity. Topics are wide and varied and reflect the many interests of the group. Past topics include women’s health issues, crafts, field trips, gardening, web page design, travelogues, book and movie reviews and a tea party. Annual events include a holiday cookie exchange, plant exchange, and a “Yankee Gift Swap.”
