W4W executive director recovering

Women 4 Women Executive Director Ann Coffey loves mountain climbing, and recently scaled to the summit of Mt. McKinley--only to be injured in an accident on the way down, just as she was nearing the camp at 14,000 ft. Ann's leg was badly broken, but she has recovered from surgery and is beginning physical therapy. Ann hopes to be back in the office part-time in early July; in the meantime, she is handling Women 4 Women business from home with help from staff and volunteers. If you need to contact Ann or Women 4 Women, please touch base with Deenie Espinoza at 561-8060, ext. 1019.



Until next time,

Ann L. Coffey
