The Red Tent Women's Project Survey We're conducting a (relatively) brief survey in order to figure out what kind of actvities to have at the Red Tent Women's Project, and to find out basic info about who's interested in what we're doing. By answering the questions below, you'd be giving us a LOT of help and insight into what needs to be done. See, we're committed to being an organization that is run by community input. What does that mean? That means that you decide what happens at the Red Tent Women's Project. So if you suggest a workshop on crocheting, then we will do our best to put together a workshop on crocheting. If you want a support group on divorce, then we will set up a support group on divorce.
