San
Francisco-The Dr. Martin Luther King Holiday was the back drop to
announce a multicultural call to action by the San Francisco Chapter of
the National Coalition of 100 Black Women for an employment training
program and upcoming community fundraiser in March.
During Women's History Month, National Coalition of 100 Black Women's President M. Delois (Dee Dee) Strum PhD.
will be the keynote speaker at the Sixth Annual "Golden Girls Hats and
Gloves Tea" to be held Saturday, March 5, 2011 at the historic Fairmont
Hotel on famed Nob Hill in San Francisco.
The San
Francisco Chapter of the Coalition of 100 Black Women is making a
national call to action for a National Coalition of 100 Black Women
Weekend in San Francisco, March 4, 5, and 6, 2011 inviting women's
groups and their families and friends from across the nation. Everyone is welcome. As
fund raising allows, the San Francisco Chapter is also providing the
unique "Bridging the Generations Employment Training Opportunity" that
will be an intergenerational three month "on the job" training program
for at least two persons over 55, three high school to post graduate age youth and two long-term unemployed job seekers.
"Hospitality
is the most significant and direct way to build bridges between people
and I applaud the San Francisco Chapter for making a call to action for
women of all races and ethnic backgrounds and their families and friends
to break bread with us during the "Bridging the Generations" Tea and
Tour of San Francisco, said National President of the Coalition of 100
Black Women, Dr. M. Delois (Dee Dee) Strum. What better
place to build or reinforce cultural bridges than in San Francisco,
where the first United Nations meeting was held. The
development of the "Bridging the Generations Employment Training
Opportunity" is an example of out of the box thinking that demonstrates
the capacity of coalition chapters to benefit their communities."

people who just want to meet and greet and get back to thatnext door neighbor chatting across the fence feeling," said Dr. Maxine Hickman,
President of the San Francisco Chapter. "There's something for
everyone from tours of the World Series Champion San Francisco Giants
stadium to Fisherman's Wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge and more. San Francisco is a multicultural city and we want to share some positive news our neighbors may not always hear in the media."
San Francisco Chapter founder and President Emeritus I-Lee Murphy-Reed points out the fact that a multicultural theme is nothing new to the nonprofit organization. "During last year's tea, Assemblyman Leland Yee joined us, along with Supervisor Bevan Dufty and Syndi Seid
founder and CEO of Advanced Etiquette World Wide was on the program
with a presentation about the history of "High Tea," said Murphy-Reed. Syndi,
the recognized world's leading authority on business protocol is the
author of the recently released "Etiquette in Minutes" and will be
joining us again."
