SUMMARY:The Women's Ball
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2024 Women’s Ball! A celebration to benefit the Casa de Noche Buena shelter in Seaside\, CA\, a joint partnership between Gathering for Women – Monterey and Community Human Services. \nCasa de Noche Buena opened its doors in 2021 in Seaside\, providing safe shelter and case management and housing navigation services for unaccompanied women and families with children experiencing homelessness. Guests may stay 90-180 days\, and are provided with help with getting back on their feet and finding a permanent home. Casa de Noche Buena also provides three meals a day\, internet and computer access\, a family room and backyard\, plus laundry facilities and mail service. The shelter relies on community generosity to keep its doors open to help those in need. \nThis year’s Women’s Ball launches the annual Caring Heart award\, and the inaugural recipient is Dawn Galante\, the founder and CEO of Dawn’s Dream Winery. Dawn’s “dream” has always been to support women and children by donating her product\, money and time. Her passion for helping women and children equals her passion for making wine. Each year Dawn’s Dream Winery adopts a local non-profit to support and features them in the tasting room\, organizes events for them\, and donates wine for their events. \nThe Women’s Ball was founded in 2007 by Renee Clemons and Deborah Smith\, who wanted to create a fun women’s night out that also gave back by raising funds for women and families. The co-founders will also be honored at this year’s Women’s Ball. \nThe Women’s Ball will be held Saturday\, April 13th\, from 7pm to 10pm at the Carmel Woman’s Club\, located at the corner of Eighth and San Carlos in Carmel\, across from Sunset Center. Tickets are $50 and include food\, wine and other beverages\, one raffle ticket\, and dancing.

SUMMARY:Gathering for Women's Fourth Annual Art Fair
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text] \nOnline all of September!\nGathering for Women’s Fourth Annual Art Fair again features works of art made by both local\, professional artists and the homeless women we serve. Proceeds from the sale of art from professional artists will help fund GFW’s day-to-day operations\, while the proceeds from sales of GFW guests’ art will go directly to each individual artist. Last year’s Art Fair raised more than $3\,200 to support GFW operations and $1\,000 for our guests. \nTo view and purchase artwork\, CLICK HERE. \nThe artwork made by our guests shows their versatility\, bravery\, and amazing talents. All paintings were created on the premises at Gathering for Women during our bi-monthly three-hour painting workshops and other art therapy classes. The vast majority of our guests had not painted since kindergarten. They remembered the joy of creativity\, mixing colors\, and the focus and peace it brings to one’s mind. Our guests have been inspired by original photographs\, old masters\, and local artists.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”103″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”102″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”101″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Women for Women
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]The idea of bringing a group of amazing women together to support important local causes was the brainchild of Monterey artist\, René Romero Schuler. “With a collaborative spirit\, there is nothing we can’t accomplish.” says Schuler.\n​\nStill fairly new to California\, Schuler has endeavored to establish her roots in the area she now calls home\, and has gathered up some incredible local talent in support of an organization with a cause very dear to Schuler. Having experienced homelessness as a young teen on the streets of Chicago\, Schuler has persevered and become a force for advocacy and compassion. The Gathering for Women-Monterey is a local organization that embodies compassion by helping so many women to break out of situations of need and homelessness\, by providing an array of services that will empower them to succeed. \nSince this day is focused on WOMEN supporting WOMEN\, it is very fitting that we’re gathering the day before Mother’s Day! This event will feature woman-owned businesses\, artists\, artisans\, musicians and several sponsors. There will also be three raffle packages valued at over $2000 each\, with 100% of raffle ticket sales’ proceeds benefitting The Gathering for Women! \nThe event is free\, please register here:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/women-for-women-tickets-579826585927[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Sponsors include: \n\nPoptopia Balloons\nBenitez Security\nAlchemist Hair Studio\nOm Oasis-Yoga/Barre/Pilates\nGlacier Bar\nCasanova Restaurant\nMaligne Restaurant\nVin.

SUMMARY:We Are All in This Together - Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Due to the success of local filmmaker Daniel Troia’s film\, WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER at the PG Lighthouse Cinema this past April\, another free showing is scheduled for Saturday\, June 18th at 7:30 p.m.\, at the Golden State Theatre.\nSome people were turned away in April as the two Lighthouse theatres were overflowing. It was a free event; however many attendees donated to Gathering for Women\, a local nonprofit serving homeless and housing insecure women on the Monterey Peninsula. GFW Executive Director Staci Alziebler-Perkins said\, “We are so grateful to Daniel for sharing this inspirational film and for his support for the most vulnerable in our community.” \nThis award winning film documents Daniel’s extraordinary bicycle journey from Monterey to New York without any cash or credit cards\, relying on the kindness of strangers all along the route. He bought a visor camera and a drone to film his journey. He suffered through cold\, rain\, hunger and fatigue but never gave up on his quest to find out what people were really like when facing a homeless bedraggled stranger with only a sign saying\, “Biking across country.  Ran out of food. Anything helps.” \nTickets are free and can be reserved by clicking here: We Are All In This Together

SUMMARY:Art Fair 2021
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Gathering for Women’s second annual Art Fair again features more than 100 works of art made by both local professional artists and the homeless women we serve. Proceeds from the sale of art from professional artists will help fund GFW’s day-to-day operations\, while the proceeds from sales of GFW guests’ art will go directly to each individual artist. Last year’s Art Fair raised more than $3\,200 to support GFW operations and $1\,200 for our guests. \nTo view and purchase artwork\, CLICK HERE. \nThe artwork made by our guests shows their versatility\, bravery\, and amazing talents. All paintings were created on the premises at Gathering for Women during our bi-monthly three-hour painting workshops. The vast majority of our guests had not painted since kindergarten. They remembered the joy of creativity\, mixing colors\, and the focus and peace it brings to one’s mind. Our guests have been inspired by original photographs\, old masters\, and local artists.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”126″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”125″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”124″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Art Fair 2020
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Gathering for Women’s first-ever Art Fair was a smashing success\, raising more than $3\,200 for GFW. The September 2020 event offered friends and supporters the opportunity to purchase art from local artists using an online platform. The Art Fair featured local professional artists who donated their work\, as well as artwork created by the homeless women we serve. \nMore than 100 pieces of art were featured\, with 13 pieces of art by local artists sold\, and 40 pieces of art made by GFW guests. Proceeds from the sale of art from professional artists will help fund GFW’s day-to-day operations. The proceeds from sales of our guests’ art — which raised more than $1\,200 — went directly to each individual artist. “One guest was moved to tears when one of her paintings sold the very first night\,” reports Executive Director Staci Alziebler-Perkins. “We can’t wait to have another in Spring 2021!” \nThe artwork made by our guests showed their versatility\, bravery\, and amazing talents. All paintings were created on the premises at Gathering for Women during our bi-monthly three-hour painting workshops. The vast majority of our guests had not painted since kindergarten. They remembered the joy of creativity\, mixing colors\, and the focus and peace it brings to one’s mind. Our guests have been inspired by original photographs\, old masters\, and local artists. [/vc_column_text][vc_media_grid grid_id=”vc_gid:1708747987710-7864f4fe-901e-5″ include=”153\,152\,151″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
