Thursday, October 18

Threads of Hope for Afghan Women

7 to 9 p.m.  181 Pine St.

Eternal Threads founder, Linda Egle and Colonel Kristina O’Brien, Dyess Air Force Base will be speaking at 8 p.m.

 Tickets are $15 each*

*Proceeds from just the sale of one ticket will provide sewing supplies for three months for one woman.

Eternal Threads (in connection with Abilene AAUW and Dyess Spouses Club) is hosting an event on Thursday, October 18 to raise money for women’s tailoring courses in Afghanistan. This will be a unique come and go event filled with food and music from the region as well as handcrafted items made in Afghanistan that will be available for purchase.

The tailoring courses are a lifeline for women in Afghanistan, allowing them to learn a trade that can help support themselves and their families. Read about these courses and watch a video on the BLOG. It’s amazing how much just a little of our resources can change another woman’s life! Most of us are aware of how bad the living conditions are in Afghanistan, especially for women. These courses are truly a life-changing event for them.   If you live in Abilene, call 325.672.6000 to purchase tickets or stop by the office at 101 Walnut St.
