Orange County, CA Events
I found this amazing round up of events in Orange County, California, thanks to Orange County Democracy for America:

Apr 1 Wednesday 6:30-9pm, Newport Coast: Microfinance Event w/Author Dana Whitaker
This event is co-sponsored by RESULTS Global: Orange County, California.
Hear the inspiring success stories of real people who have achieved extraordinary results with their small loans as told by Dana Whitaker, author of Transforming Lives $40 at a Time - Women and Microfinance: Upending the Status Quo. Dana is the Chair of the Alameda County Board of Women's Initiative for Self Employment and Membership Chair of Women Advancing Microfinance. She is also the founder of Opening Eyes LLC, a personal and professional coaching service. Helping one person living on less than a $1 a day, start or expand their enterprise with a small loan pays big dividends. It spreads wealth in their communities and encourages other entrepreneurs to do the same with their businesses. And that means helping people help themselves in a dignified, sustainable way. Visit Dana's website at openingeyes.net Kindly RSVP to reserve your seat as space is limited. RSVP to attend in person by emailing Diana de Castro at decastrod@aol.com. Register to attend the event via webinar here.
