FALL 2007

With the opening of new offices in New Britain, the Bucks County Women’s Fund has turned another important page in its 17-year history.

On September 18, more than 100 guests were welcomed to the Fund’s new home. Community leaders, local officials, donors, supporters, grant recipients and interested neighbors all joined in celebrating the landmark occasion. Located at 956 Town Center Office Park in New Britain, it’s the Fund’s first brick and mortar office which is accessible to the general public.

Staffed by Executive Director Kathleen Welsh Beveridge and assistant Kathleen McCarthy, the office will serve not only as the center of the Fund’s organization and activities, but also as a resource center for area women and girls.

Board President Gayle Goodman was enthusiastic about the gathering. “We were happy so many people came to help us celebrate the new office space and meet Kathy Beveridge. As we begin our Listening Year, we hope many more people will come, share ideas and offer input on the critical needs and issues facing Bucks County women and girls,” Gayle said. Acquiring the new office space and hiring a new executive director fulfill two of BCWF’s initial goals in growing the Fund for maximum community impact.

And, as the Fund solicits community input during this Listening Year, the organization is working toward a third goal—to evaluate the needs of the county’s women and girls and determine how the funding process can be structured to achieve the most positive and lasting results.

You are welcome to stop by at the office, located in the office park adjacent to the Town Center Shopping Plaza on West Butler Pike (Route 202). For directions, please visit the Contact Us page or call 215.345.5440.
