August 15, 2008 -- Back by popular demand, it's the 3rd Annual Beaches Party! The annual Beaches Party is a fabulous night of food, fun, and fundraising. Join us for live music and dancing, incredible food, a silent auction with something to fit every budget, and a live auction that’s always as entertaining as it is exciting!

Work on the event including contributions for the auctions is well under way. Please see the Events page for more information about this not-to-be-missed event of the season, including online bidding beginning July 7th! If you have an item or service you’d like to donate, we’d love to hear from you! Please contact Kathie McGuinness at BWP’s office.

December 5, 2008 -- Always an incredibly uplifting experience, the 4th Annual Circle Of Friends Luncheon will be on Wednesday, December 5th beginning at 11:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. The luncheon will be held at the beautiful TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse that will be resplendent with holiday décor. We're looking for Table Captains to invite a small group of their friends to join the supporters of Beaches Women's Partnership, helping us to continue helping women at the Beaches and their families. Please contact Tasha White or Kathie McGuinness at 249-1450 for more information.

Pattern Changing for Women -- This January saw the inauguration of a new program, Pattern Changing for Women, partnered by Beaches Women’s Partnership and the Fleet and Family Services of Mayport Naval Base. This intensive program offers a new approach for women who have been emotionally, physically, or sexually abused at any time during their lives and focuses on their power to make new choices and to change the direction of their lives.

The program is being facilitated by our own Alice Stratton, MSW, MS, and by Elinor Cantrell, LMFT. All spaces for the current course are filled, but call the office if you have interest in one of our future opportunities.
