The Open Circle of Friends is creating new Friendships.  This idea started with four local teachers (pictured above) and has expanded out to about 400 women.  This gift is designed to keep giving through a donation of $2 per necklace to an "OcoF" fund for Women Helping Women.  As you give each gift you will be helping women in our community through your purchase.  The receiver then purchases a necklaces for another friend and the process is repeated.

The purpose of the Open circle is to connect with different circles of friends.  We understand an open circle leaves room to include everyone. The poem was written to emphasize sharing.  Women understand the load we all carry and having friends helps us to lighten our lives.

As you wear your necklace please remember to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.  Knowing we are very much like yourselves, women first then mothers, sisters, daughters and friends.  Prayer is the best gift you can give us to strengthen us to persevere.  We could not have done this without each other and connot continue without you.  We encourage you today to reach out too a new friend or remind a long time friend how significant they are too you. Friendship is love in action.  No necklace required.
