A Window Between Worlds Newsflash - November 2011
November 2011
- Children's Windows Participant
This whirlwind year has been so inspirational, each and every step of the way! Last month we celebrated 20 years of creativity and healing with an "Evening of Wine Tasting and Dinner at Zazou." It was wonderful to see so many of our supporters, some who have been with us from the very beginning, joining us for this special evening.
Among the many highlights was a presentation by Redondo Beach Mayor Mike Gin, who read a letter from Vice President Joe Biden congratulating us on 20 years: "You have made it your mission to share your passion and drive to empower others, and you are a true example of what makes America great." (To view the letter in its entirety, click here.) You may not know this, but in 1994 Joe Biden welcomed AWBW to the Rotunda of the Russell Senate Building in Washington, DC where my Portraits of Survivors were on exhibit. At that time AWBW was reaching just 624 participants compared to the 60,000 we reach now! It feels so wonderful to have his recognition of our work and acknowledgement of how far we've come.
We couldn't have grown like this without your support. As you know, this year we set a lofty goal to raise $200,000 more than last year in order to launch 40 new programs. As you can see in this snapshot of the thermometer on our home page, we're 88% of the way there! With your support we know we can make it to 100%.
Thank you for your passion and all you do to help empower women and children surviving abuse in this very special 20th year and beyond. We're looking forward to seeing in AWBW's next decade using art as a healing tool with you!
With sincere appreciation for your heartfelt support,
Cathy Salser and the AWBW Family
In This Issue
Join us tonight, November 1st, for our Fall Advocate Huddle! At this dinner meeting we will be hearing from a program participant who has found the strength to speak out about her experience in ways she never imagined possible, thanks to the art. We will also celebrate the many ways our Advocates are supporting us in this exhilarating 20th year. We'd love you to be part of the excitement and momentum!
Please RSVP to Lonnie via email or phone at 310-396-0317 x201. Your presence, and the presence of your guests at this gathering, will make this evening complete! Bring gold or silver to be turned into cash to support AWBW's programs!
Zazou 2011
An amazing night of celebration and fundraising
This year's Zazou Wine Tasting and Dinner truly elevated AWBW to a new level. We are thrilled to announce we have collected over $96,000 from this event thanks to your phenomenal support – the most in AWBW's 20-year history! A huge thank you to all who helped make this event such a success!

AWBW and Cathy on 20 years
Congratulations and much gratitude go to our hosts, sponsors, auction donors, ad sponsors, wineries, volunteers and, of course, Zazou Restaurant and owner Guy Gabriele. Guy, Stephane, Salvadore and the entire Zazou staff were instrumental in making the evening such a wonderful celebration by providing the perfect atmosphere, delicious food and carefully thought-out wine pairings. We are endlessly grateful for all the restaurant has helped us accomplish since the first Zazou event 9 years ago.
