Women’s History Month: raising girls to be brave, strong, confident, and to break the gender bias that leads to a toxic culture. I’ve(Jodi Caruso)tried to be a role model for my daughters, to show them they are capable, powerful and to build their confidence. I’ve tried to support them in making positive choices and to believe in themselves and to take care of themselves. To be caring, considerate humans being while not compromising their self.
I am not perfect. I’ve made many mistakes. But in a world where the patriarchal society needs to find harmony for a more peaceful existence, I believe they and their contemporaries will change society so that women and men will enjoy the same opportunities and rights. Empower your girls. Love mine(Sequoia & Willow)

To all you wonderful women,

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude for your participation and support of the first Naples Women’s Weekend. We are so proud of all of you! The feedback has been astoundingly positive.

Women came to Naples from Pennsylvania , Rochester, Syracuse, and all over the Finger Lakes Region!

Thank you to all of the volunteers that showed up to help. Thank you to all the local businesses that donated raffle items, and basket prizes. Thank you to all the participating businesses and to all the participants!

We will be sending out a mail chimp survey to help us as we plan next year’s weekend! Yes, this has become the 1st Annual Women’s Weekend! Please take a few minutes to complete the survey when you receive it.

Although this started as a small seed to help drive revenue(which it did) and to celebrate Women’s History Month(which we did) it became so much more! The networking, collaboration, and new bonds created are an absolute bonus!

Thank you from the bottom of our heart for honoring women in your unique offerings. May we continue to close the gap in gender equality in the workplace and in our society.
