The Fairy Godmother Project
August 1, 2008
Louise Karch, emcee for the fall 2003 conference, embraced the idea and agreed to present it at the conference. She took a deep breath and asked 200 women to close their eyes. She pulled out a ‘magic’ wand and pressed a tiny pink button that sent the sound of tinkling bells throughout the hall. As women came forward offering to take on a project, she started handing out the five $100 donated cheques, thereby launching the Fairy Godmother Project.
