.. out of their basement apt. on 16th St. in the Mission. This morning to a packed house, Rosaio Navarrette, Asst. Director, 30th St. Senior Center, recounted in tears her memories as a survivor of these 3 Princeton grads (fresh out of college who drove to SF to found WOMAN, Inc.) opening their apartment at 9 PM at night to give women a place to go when they had no where else. Rosaio said she'd never forget the flowered shower curtain they put up in the room. It divided the non-profit help center from the personal living area. Today our office on Valencia St. takes approx. 25,000 calls a year from women surviving abuse. This was the best Wake Up Call fund raiser we've ever had!
