                                                                             Annual Report

The Women's Cottage is a special place where all women, regardless of age, race,

religion or sexual preference are valued and treated as equal. It is a place for women

to nurture themselves; a place of safety; a place to learn and grow. It is not a place

for "one  type of woman", but a place for all. A place that believes that access and

equity are more that ideas and principles.
