About the Group

 In forming this group I took my inspiration from the Women's Institute (WI) in the United Kingdom.  For more information on this organization, click here.  But I use the word inspiration in a very lose term, this group is what we create.


So, what do I hope Philly WI can be?

I hope that this group will foster new friendships and provide a place where women who might not otherwise meet each other will discover that they have things to share.

I hope that this group makes it easy to learn about events going on in and around Philly (check out our Google Calendar), and to find cool people to go with!

I hope that this group creates monthly meetings that introduce its members to new ideas, help them increase their knowledge on whatever they want (cooking, yoga, music, business...)

I hope that through this group we will learn new things and learn from each others' experiences.

There is a lot that women can learn by just being around each other.  We all have different life experiences to bring to the table.  These experiences can come from all aspects of life: work, arts & culture, cooking, crafts, politics, you name it.

Above all, I hope we can all make a few new connections.  This group is starting small but who knows what it could become!
