WCGBR: Women's Week Activities

The seventh annual WOMEN! A WEEK-LONG CELEBRATION!! presented by the Women's Council of Greater Baton Rouge (WCGBR) is taking place for an extended period of September 19 - 28, 2008, throughout the Greater Baton Rouge area.

The purpose of the Celebration is:
  • To provide a forum for discussing issues that are important to women including healthcare, education, family, community, economics, business, politics, government, sports, arts and humanities;
  • To strengthen the bond among women in the Greater Baton Rouge area;
  • To showcase and share the strengths of women and women's groups;
  • To explore the role of women in shaping our community;
  • To offer fun and interesting activities for women.

This Celebration will commence with a citywide luncheon at 11:30 AM on September 19, 2008, and will continue with many diverse and exciting events throughout the extended period.

WOMEN! A WEEK-LONG CELEBRATION!! is a great way to showcase your organization or business in the community. This event is a great opportunity for publicity, promotion and synergy.
