WOC’ers love us so much!!
An inspiring email arrived last week from Ted Fickes, a past Web of Change alumnus, who had seen our announcement about the 10 tuition scholarships that we are giving away. His email was spurred by the tuition scholarship announcement, but not as you would think. Rather than submitting an application, he wanted to add to the pool of funds and help others attend! Why? Inspiration moved to action, and I quote: “[I] had tons of crazy and great conversations, started friendships and added to relationships that have had a ton to do with my work the past couple years. Try to say that about any other conference. […] If I'm not going I would still like to help.”
He wrote about the impact that Web of Change had on him and how the experience shaped and inspired positive progressive change in his life and work. When we say actions speak louder then words, this gesture is a pretty loud statement about the impact of Web of Change.
If your experience at Web of Change was just as profound and you’d like to help others attend by helping with their tuition or expenses, please see the attached form, which gives you the details of where to mail your cheque.
If you are inspired to donate, please add a comment below as an inspiration to others. Our goal is to raise $1,000 for 2009. No amount is too great or too small. Simply note "For WOC" beside the Scholarship Fund box on the form.
Thank you WOC Alumni Community for all you do!
