Tell your friends, keep your calendars clear and watch for more details. Right now, the specifics of this "party with a purpose" are still very hush-hush. We're classifying it as But we HAVE TO share this with you RIGHT NOW! This is a recipe that one of the Womenade ladies brought tonight. It is hands down the most AMAZING, ADDICTIVE and SINFUL thing you could ever put in your mouth! It's Lisa's "To Die For" Toffee Fruit Dip:

1 8 0z package of cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Heath toffee bits.
mix together and serve with strawberries, bananas, grapes, pineapple.
(Or just eat it with a spoon if you've had a really bad day!)

Womenade - Panty Raid!

2008-10-07T20:13:00.000-07:00

Womenade of NWA held a "Panty Raid" on Tuesday, October 7th. The purpose of the event was to tell other women about the simple but powerful concept behind Womenade and to help raise awareness and support of a cause that we believe in.

Roughly 75 women from all over Northwest Arkansas gathered at the Boar's Head Pub inside Powerhouse Restaurant. The price of admission - a package of panties! 425 pairs of NEW panties were collected for needy girls at Fayetteville High School.
Pictured from left to right are the founding members of Womenade NWA: Paula Martucci, Jody Dilday, Lisa Darling, Alison Levin, Danna Grear, and Mary Beth Shields. (not pictured: Susan Thornton & Betsy Reithmeyer)

Lisa Darling shared the history of Womenade. Danna Grear spoke about why Womenade NWA chose to focus on needy high school girls. FHS Counselor Leigh Hudson shared information on the Glass Slipper Project at FHS and a "Spa Day" that is being held this Saturday in preparation for Homecoming.

Our hope is that you left this "party with a purpose" inspired to create your own Womenade group with your friends, and that you will share your story with us!

If we can help you get started, please reach out to the woman who invited you to the Panty Raid. We'll be glad to help!

If you did not sign in, but would like to be invited to future Womenade events, please email us with your name, city, and email address.

We truly believe that there is no limit to what we, as women, can do when we work together.

Womenade NWA

2008-08-27T07:14:00.002-07:00

Modeled after Washington Womenade, Womenade Northwest Arkansas was founded on April 29, 2008 by a group of busy, professional women who wanted to combine fun, fellowship and friendship while giving back to our community.

History

2008-08-27T07:14:00.001-07:00

The Womenade concept was created in 2001 in Washington, DC when six women friends met for supper in an area restaurant. One of the women, Dr. Ann Kossoff, talked about how she wrote checks from her personal account to help her low-income patients with small bills for prescriptions, co-pays, and field trips. Kossof estimated that she had probably given away close to $10,000 in the past year. One of her friends suggested that they all help pay these costs. Instead of going out to eat, they decided to have several potluck dinners and ask everyone attending to contribute $35.00, the amount of money that would have been spent for a meal at a restaurant. Today, this “simple” idea has sparked groups in surrounding local towns and many states. The Womenade formula has successfully raised money for countless families with financial issues that ranges from medical care to paying for a Little league uniform.
