We have had many members ask what they can do to help those devastated by Hurricane Sandy. At this time, we have been asked to support the Red Cross and their efforts to assist storm victims. As we learn more from our chapters that were affected and what they might specifically need, we will pass along the information. Thank you all for your willingness to help! http://www.redcross.org/hurricane-sandy

New York State Women Inc. is in the process of collecting scholarship award information from our local chapters. We believe that this information will help promote New York State Women Inc. to both members and nonmembers. Once the information is compiled, it will be listed on the NYSW, Inc. website.
