	Join us for this year's Repair Affair! Volunteers from last year's Repair Affair Every year we sponsor a Repair Affair to fix up the home of a low-income elderly or disabled homeowner. This year's affair is Saturday, June 18; we're recruiting volunteers to paint the outside of a home. If you can help, please contact Women 4 Women's Joyce Seymour at joyce@w4w.org or 561-8060, ext. 1020. The project is in partnership with New Directions Housing Corp. Save the date: Golf tournament Women 4 Women's 13th annual golf tournament/fundraiser will be Monday, Aug. 29, at the Cardinal Club in Shelby County. The tournament is in partnership with the University of Louisville. Contact Joyce Seymour at joyce@w4w.org or 561-8060, ext. 1020. May is the month for newsletter, billboards Our first Connecting4Change newsletter has been mailed out!

Also in May, we put up billboards and bus shelter signs featuring "The Fund for Women and Girls." One billboard is along the riverfront in the Spaghetti Junction area—you can see it as you head east on I-64. The other is heading north on I-65 just beyond the airport exit on the right. See them here.
