Burnsville Women of Today

We are a community-based volunteer organization dedicated to community service, personal growth & friendships.

As a nonprofit, volunteer organization, we participate in projects that enable us to improve our community, provide us with personal growth and allow us to build strong friendships. We are every woman...working professionals, business owners, work at home, students, mothers, single, married, native Minnesotans & transplants. We are women from many South Metro communities...Burnsville, Apple Valley

, Rosemount, Lakeville and others. We chartered in 1990 and are part of the Minnesota Women of Today. We often join with our sister chapters in other communities to grow our personal networks and bring more power to our projects.

As part of the Minnesota Women of Today Membership Week, our Burnsville chapter celebrated Member Appreciation Day at the chapter meeting on Monday, June 15th.

We appreciate all of our members and the diverse ideas and talents each person brings. We have planned a number of member events to take place throughout this trimester. We will be running a raffle with a ticket entered for each member event that you attend, with an extra ticket for anytime you bring a guest.

This will be your opportunity to introduce your friends to our outstanding organization.

Thank you all for being a part of the Burnsville Women of Today!

Four members and one guest volunteered to build beds for Sleep in Heavenly Peace.

The group that night prepped materials to build a total of 40 beds! We sanded all the boards in the queue so Saturday’s team had a Headstart of six hours of work. Kids are waiting for these beds so there is a great need in the community.

Thanks to our volunteers for all their hard work, sweat, and putting up with all the dust!
