The Center for Women is getting ready for the Entrepreneurial Woman Series. From a new support group to a returning creative writing workshop, this week's events run the gamut.

"In 2003, more than 250 local women entrepreneurs participated in this popular series for women who are starting or running their own businesses," says Jennet Robinson Alterman, executive director of the Center for Women.

Also returning is Rosemary Daniell, who leads a creative writing workshop on a quarterly basis at the center. "Author of 'Fatal Flowers,' 'Sleeping with Soldiers' and 'The Woman Who Spilled Words All Over Herself,' Rosemary has developed a wonderful creative approach to writing, which she calls Zona Rosa, and she has converts all over the world," says Alterman.

In response to a Brown Bag Lunch Series at Noon on infertility held last summer, the center has launched an infertility support group, which will be held the fourth Monday of each month. Participants may share their experiences with others and a different topic will be discussed each meeting.
