On International
Women's Day, March 8, Washington CASH hosted a breakfast bursting with
the energy of more than 50 “Influential, Insightful, Innovative Women
of the World.” Women from 
Stephanie
Cholmondeley, of Cinema Diaspora, and Laura Matson, of Laura Matson Designs
(top right) spoke about their businesses and their business group at this
event. “We've turned down as many loan applications as we've approved,”
Laura boasted of her business group's notoriously careful consideration
of loan applications. Laura received her $2,500 loan check last week.
“Yeah,” Stephanie chimed in, “we require full business plans typed and
e-mailed to our group at least a week ahead of time.” Stephanie will apply
for her $1,000 loan at this week's business group. Good luck, Stephanie!

of supporters so that we know that the tools we have invested in this
organization will be utilized to their fullest extent!”
