"I am so excited about
winning the award," Harris said. "And with the help from
the grant I am making great progress with my research." She added
that one of the other winners, Marcia Esparza, has agreed to act as
an interpreter for her, which will allow Harris to include Latino
women in her research.
In an effort to keep the funds coming in, IFW
hosts a Champagne Supper on Tuesday, Nov. 7, at 5:30 p.m. at the
Colonie Country Club in Voorheesville. The evening's guest speaker
will be Barbara A. DeBuono, New York State Commissioner of Health,
speaking on "Women and Health: Preparing for the 21st Century."
