These high quality vibes are great for women that enjoy both vaginal and clitoral stimulation.
Venus Envy Bursary Fund
The Venus Envy Bursary fund will be made available to any woman who has been accepted into any post- secondary institution in Nova Scotia. The applications will be available by May, 2000 and we hope to have raised enough money to offer $1000 each to three women in September, 2000. The application itself will contain questions regarding need, experience and knowledge of the applicants desired program, among others. The successful applicants will be chosen by a selection committee of 5-7 women. Applications will be made available at Venus Envy as well as at universities and community colleges, social services agencies and other locations across the province. Monies will be raised for the bursary fund through community events and, hopefully, through corporate sponsorship. The more money we can raise , the more women will benefit from the fund. We hope to give bursaries to a greater number of women each year. The Fund is currently in the process of applying for charitable status and when status is granted a tax receipt will be available to individuals and businesses making donations. We would appreciate any and all suggestions regarding the fund from the women's community in general. Please feel free to contact Shelley at with your ideas.
