Dear Friends,

Thank you to our supporters for making a lasting impact in the “Give the Gift of Jobs” campaign! As we all know, a healthy local economy requires empowered entrepreneurs and a sustainable small business community.

This week's video, "Top 10 Challenges of Starting a Business," features local entrepreneur and jewelry designer Lili Daliessio. We invite you to hear Lili's story as she explains how EG's Entrepreneurship Training Course played a critical role in developing her dreams. As we mention in the video, funding is still the greatest hurdle for aspiring women entrepreneurs.

We would be grateful for your help to fund 20 scholarships for low-income women entrepreneurs to attend the Entrepreneurship Training Course in February 2012. We ask you to contribute to their economic future in any of three ways:

1. Participate in our IndieGoGo campaign (click here) to contribute to the success of women business
owners.
2. Click on PayPal and donate to our Women’s Business Center Scholarship Fund.
3. Pass this on to 20 family members, friends, foundations or funders.

Thank you again for your continued support!

Happy Holidays,

The EG Team
