Here are our most memorable moments and accomplishments from our amazing community:

Membership

Grew our community to nearly 100 members! We welcomed women from all age groups and diverse backgrounds because we believe in the power of inclusivity and that our sisterhood is enriched by it.

Events

Organized two memorable hiking events and one personal finance workshop

1. Mt. Diablo Hiking Adventure

We organized this event to one of the most picturesque and breathtaking mountains to help us kick off the spring. Our 2-hour hike did not disappoint! We couldn’t get enough of the spectacular landscapes, blooming spring flowers, awesome views, and great company. We topped off our hike with a picnic lunch where our 10 members got to learn more about each other and discuss the stuff that connects us all together. We came away rejuvenated, with a bigger sense of sisterhood and a renewed zest to take on the rest of the year.

2. Angel Island Hiking Adventure

After the overwhelming success of our Mt Diablo hike, we couldn’t wait for our summer adventure!  This time around, our members selected the gorgeous Angel Island for our hike. Everything worked in our favor on our hiking day.  From the beautiful weather, relaxing ferry ride to the island, to the stunning scenery and vibrant energy of our 11 members, we felt delightful.  Our mission has always been to bring women of diverse backgrounds, ages, cultures, and perspectives together in sisterhood to laugh, learn from each other, and to inspire and support one another. We achieved all of this and more on that day. 🙂

3. Personal Finance Workshop

Organized with the help of one of our members, Caff n’ Cash, was our first-ever personal finance workshop with an amazing 30-year financial expert from Charles Schwab. During this invaluable session, we got insight into topics our members wanted to learn most about. These included how to build wealth, how to select investment options, how to budget, how to save for retirement, plus, how to measure financial wealth, set investment goals, and save for kid’s college.
