Who Are Friends Of Wine Women And Philosophy?

Friends of wine women and philosophy are individuals or groups committed to helping women expand their creative and intellectual horizons.  They help us to create, build and establish a social network between women that is ongoing, and that leads to educational, personal and professional enhancement.  Friends of wine women and philosophy enable our participants to develop their interests and connections beyond our getaways.


 
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Friendship dances round the world, proclaiming to us all to wake up and congratulate one another.

How do I become a friend of wine women and philosophy?

We have two types of friends:

membership friends

These are individuals who pay an annual membership of $50 to demonstrate their ongoing support and active participation in the shaping and flourishing of wine women and philosophy.

An annual membership guarantees you a priority place on any of our weekends, an accommodation upgrade at no extra cost, and discount prices on our away days.  It  entitles you to attend member's salon evenings which take place 6 times a year in Montreal. It also means that you can join our wwp choir which meets on a bi-weekly basis and our bridge nights which are held throughout the year. 

For those of you who would like to become one of our growing number of membership friends please complete the friends of wwp form.

benefactor friends

These are individuals, groups or associations which believe in our vision of a school that caters to the specific educational needs of women.  They support us financially or through their provision of services or facilities.

The support of our honorary benefactor, Robin Worthington, has enabled us to turn our dream of wine women and philosophy into a reality.  Her commitment to lifelong education for women of all ages and backgrounds, as well as her love of activity - she was an enthusiastic skier, tennis player, book club and bridge club member - has been a constant inspiration to us.  Please contact us if you would like to join Robin in being a benefactor friend of wine women and philosophy. If you are looking for an idea, here is one way that you can play a key role in ensuring that wine women philosophy continues to be enriched by the involvement of dedicated and inspiring women.

The Marcelle Scholarship

The Marcelle Scholarship was set up by a membership friend in acknowledgment of the role that her mother has played in encouraging her educational pursuits and inspiring her active engagement with the world around her.  Marcelle is a woman who values the importance of learning and trying new things, and who fights for those things she believes in.  Her commitment to political and social causes has never wavered, even when that choice demands courage and sacrifice.  Marcelle's sense of humour and sharp wit is a constant through good times and not so good times, and her joyful outlook on life definitely rubs off on others.

The scholarship that bears her name is set up to ensure that women who have contributed a great deal to wine women and philosophy get to come on a weekend of their choice, free of charge. If you would like to know more about contributing to this scholarship fund please contact us.
