You heard about the impact a local women’s organization had on the community if you were one of the 260 people attending the 13th Annual Celebrate Women Luncheon Wednesday in Sturgeon Bay. The Women’s Fund of Door County invited Janine Geske, a retired Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, to be the keynote speaker at the event held at Stone Harbor Resort & Conference Center. Geske shared her presentation on “Restorative Justice…The Path to Healing and Forgiving”.

Women’s Fund Co-Chair Annika Paulsen says the organization has an endowment of over $1.5 million and has granted over $500,000 to over 90 non-profits over the last 13 years. 

Paulsen adds that the Women Luncheon is designed to be an educational event and a fun gathering to celebrate all the work done throughout the year by the organization.
