Tweet Divas Host “An Intimate Affair” for Area Women’s Shelters
Posted by Lisa Sullivan, 10 months, 3 weeks ago at 9:00 am. 0 comments
Women don’t want to imagine ourselves in situations where we feel powerless to stop the violence that embraces a home. We hear stories all the time about our own kind getting battered, beaten, bruised, and having to take shelter in an undisclosed location just to heal physically, emotionally, spiritually, and to find a way to get back on their own two feet to make a fresh start. Can you imagine? I can’t.
Those of us that are fortunate enough to be in loving homes where we are valued and loved as much as we value and love our families (especially our spouses) can do something to assist those that are struggling to make that fresh start. For our first evening gathering of 2011, we are going to get “intimate” to help those women less fortunate than we.

“An Intimate Affair”
Tuesday, April 19th from 7-9pm
at
Tir Na Nog
Downtown Raleigh
As we usually do, we will mix and mingle with the women we have built relationships online in a casual offline setting. Also as usual, food and drink is on your own. But, for the first time since the inception of Tweet Divas we will collect NEW intimate apparel that will be donated amongst three charities in the Triangle -
Interact of Wake County
Harbor Inc. of Johnston County
Please bring NEW bras, underwear, or pajamas in ANY size, including for those in the larger set, a size that is often forgotten when donations for each of these organizations are received.
In the past, we have donated gently worn women’s professional dress for similar use. The idea for a more “intimate affair” came to me after reading this blog post by Will, a senior web developer at Capstrat who spent one week this past holiday season living “Homeless for the Holidays”. Ever since I read that particular post, I’ve been wanting the women of the Triangle to make an impact for other women in the Triangle by collecting women’s undergarments that are so desperately needed.
