I am so excited to introduce you to Gisela Becker, our featured guest for the International Women’s Day celebration 2016. Gisela’s vibrant life story began in Germany in 1930, and continued with her immigration to the United States in 1953, after which she was married and gave birth to three children, raised her children and then worked for her husband until his death in 1990. 
Rather than withdraw at the time of her husband’s death, Gisela began to explore the world through travel until, in Turkey, she met a 14 year old boy from Ghana, named Uriah, who changed her life. Gisela founded St. Paul Nonprofit Charitable Organization (SPANCO), both in the U.S. and Germany, to improve conditions for the poor in Ghana (www.helpforghana.com). She has worked tirelessly to build a hospital, a dental clinic and an orphanage and to provide educational and vocational opportunities for children in need, among other projects. In fact, on February 8th, she returned home from a trip to Ghana, where she travels about four times per year. She is a spiritual woman, a dynamo and a delight! Come and hear what she has to say TO GET INSPIRED!
Join us on Tuesday, March 8th for dinner at the Birmingham Athletic Club (at Maple Road and Telegraph in Bloomfield Township).
The admission fee is $30. We will be assigning seats as reservations are received so please get your reservation in as soon as possible. As in the past, our law firm will be handling reservations (call Katie at 248.223.9883).
