Our Meetings

The heart of WTB is our monthly meeting. Come join us for these interesting and inspiring events held one Sunday afternoon each month. You will meet about 50 other women, including a couple first-timers. WTB meets monthly on Sunday afternoons, September through May, at Jowonio School in Syracuse, from 3-5 p.m.

Co-founders Danya Wellmon and Betsy Wiggins staff the booth at the Westcott Fair in Fall, 2007. It's a great chance for those who don't know us to meet us and learn about WTB.

We often start with a get-acquainted activity so you can get to meet other women. Then we hear from a speaker or a panel on a variety of topics such as: faith traditions of Baha'i, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Muslims and others. We've discussed civil liberties and heard from women who feel marginalized by racial, ethnic, religious and ability/disability groups. We've heard the faith stories of women of many traditions and learned about religious dress and house blessings.

OTHER REGULAR EVENTS

A monthly WTB Book Club, begun in 2005, has been a smashing success. You'll read a designated book on your own and then come together with others at a member's home to discuss it. Selections have included: A History of God: The 4000 Year Quest of Judaism, Chrsitianity, and Islam; An Inconvenient Truth; The Bookseller of Kabul; and The Good Heart: A Buddhist Perspective on the Teachings of Jesus. If you're interested, contact Jennifer Crittenden at 633-2817.

Or perhaps you're intersted in joining one of our WTB Cooking Classes, where a woman teaches others an ethnic or family recipe. Others learn how to prepare new cuisine, and then sit down and enjoy it together. A different group of women gather each time, so you're welcome any time. Liz Spence is also planning some teas in different geographic areas, so if you are interested in either, contact Liz at 652-5676.
