We just updated NNPCW’s online mother ship, our main website, yesterday! Hooray! There are lots of reasons you should check it out, too, particularly if you’re interested in scholarships….

Yes, NNPCW is launching two new endeavors to serve you, undergraduate college women, better. After many years of requests, we are planning to offer a $1000 scholarship to an undergraduate college woman for the 2006-2007 academic year. This could be you! Your fellow college women on the Scholarship Committee are hard at work right now creating the applications, and you can expect those to be available online by the beginning of February. We’re looking at a deadline in late March or early April, so keep that in your heads as you apply.

Of course, the flip side to that coin is that we need money in order to give out a scholarship. That’s what the Fundraising Committee is up to right now—contacting you and asking you to give! Please consider contributing to our ECO to make scholarships a permanent part of NNPCW’s ministry to college women. Any amount will help, even if it is only $1! Click here to donate.

And I won’t let you forget about the NNPCW Leadership Event! The registration brochure is now available for download, which means that you can sign up today! You should really check it out, if for no other reason than to see the awesome logo for this year’s event that Brianne designed.

One last project that you should be thinking about… February 26 appears on our handy-dandy Presbyterian Planning Calendar as Celebrate the Gifts of Women Sunday. As part of this day, NNPCW members around the country will be educating their congregations about who we are and the importance of this ministry to their lives. I invite you to join us! Our main page has a downloadable flyer that you can simply ask your minister to insert in the program. You can also ask for time during the service or during your campus ministry meeting to talk about NNPCW—how you’re involved, the resources we provide for young women, this summer’s Leadership Event (hint, hint). Or, for the truly ambitious, offer to plan and organize your church’s Celebrate the Gifts of Women service and make NNPCW a part of it. Click here to pick up more information on that.

You don’t have to talk about NNPCW at church to get involved in NNPCW Outreach Day, though. Post copies of the flyer on your campus bathroom stalls or distribute it at a coffeehouse performance. Talk to your local PW group at their next meeting. Make an announcement at V-Day activities on your campus. There are so many ways that you can do it—all we ask is that you share with your faith and/or women’s communities about NNPCW.

And you just know you want to see if you’re one of the folks we feature in the flyer sticking Oreo Cookies on their heads.

Nice work on the update of the website, and the addition of new materials! =)

Dare I ask why people were sticking Oreos to their heads? I'm really curious!

Ah yes... all the photos on that flyer were from last year's Leadership Event. If I remember correctly, the Oreo people were playing a game to see who could keep the Oreos stuck to her forehead the longest. It was someone's talent during the talent show. The exciting things we do....
