It's Almost Here - the 2007 Chrysalis Foundation INSIGHTS Luncheon!
We hope you can join us!

The luncheon will be held on Thursday, September 27, 2007 at the Embassy Suites Hotel, Des Moines. The event will be highlighted by former White House Bureau Chief Helen Thomas, outspoken trailblazer for women reporters over the last 60 years! Commonly referred to as "The First Lady of the Press," Ms. Thomas is certain to inspire each of us! Join nearly 500 other friends of Chrysalis who will be with us!

Can't attend, but still want to help Chrysalis?

Why not consider one of the following opportunities?
  1. Fund a "Future Female Leader" to attend in your place - donations are only $50 for a girl from Chrysalis After-School to attend.
  2. Purchase a raffle ticket for only $20 for a chance to win a ½-carat brilliant cut diamond ($2,000 value) with $500 additional toward designing a piece in the gold of your choice (you needn't be present to win)! Your chance to win will be less than the one in 500 - what a fabulous opportunity for a spectacular gift to yourself or someone you love.


Many thanks to raffle sponsor, AMERIGEM, for this generous gift! Proceeds from raffle ticket sales will benefit the leadership and self-sufficiency opportunities funded by Chrysalis.

Call the Chrysalis office, (515) 255-1853, to take advantage of any or all of these opportunities!
