These women are working to make world a better place | The San Diego Union-Tribune: "The Omni Hotel, at the back door to downtown San Diego's Petco Park, was packed last weekend, but it was philanthropy, not baseball, that had the ballroom buzzing. Delegates to the Women's Funding Network, an international association of women's foundations and philanthropic groups, were meeting for the 21st annual conference. After three long days, the workshops, networking and team building were giving way to plain old conversation among colleagues.
The guest speaker, activist and actress Geena Davis, was running late. But since she called to apologize � and to buy champagne for all of more than 200 people in the room � few seemed bothered by the delay, and most were happy to have a few more minutes to touch base. "
