Our grandmothers may have had their quilting bees and our mothers their bridge clubs, but somewhere along the way, women's lives just got too busy to "get together with the girls." And that's a shame, because women have always forged unique relationships that support, educate, encourage, and inspire. But in recent years, the tide has turned and, more than ever, women are getting together to knit, to taste wine, to play poker, to discuss books, to play mah-jongg, to scrapbook, to pray . . .
"Girl Group Confidential" is the first book to describe how to start a women's group-and how to keep it running well. Bestselling "New York Times" author Jennifer Worick draws on the advice of women's group leaders across the country to create this nuts-and-bolts handbook. She covers both the practical (where and when to meet, setting up rules, dealing with friction among members) and the social (suggestions for refreshments and background music, arranging for speakers and field trips). Also included is information on club financials, how to incorporate, and even how to trademark your group's name. No matter what group you belong to, or want to belong to, "Girl Group Confidential" shows women how to optimize female gatherings and make the experience rich and rewarding.
