AWARE Hosts its 100 Women Founding Reception

Amidst an exclusive audience of women, invited to a luncheon at the Dearborn Inn on March 31, 2005, ADC Michigan proudly unveiled AWARE (Arab American Women Advocating for Resources and Empowerment) to the community. This “100 Women” Founding Reception for AWARE, boasted approximately 150 women attendees, because of the unexpected interest in the event. The time was most fitting, as the event was scheduled in March to honor Women’s History Month and was perfectly orchestrated to coincide with ADC’s 25th Anniversary. The event, which proudly hosted the Dean of the White House Press Corps, Ms. Helen Thomas, generated a greater than expected enthusiasm from guests, who were anxious to become more involved in the initiative.
