Our charter is one of simplicity reflecting our mission statement...

We are a group of women dedicated to promoting equality, encouraging diversity, supporting and empowering each other and honoring the older woman's wisdom and achievements.

We come from all different walks of life sharing our vast contributions to family, community and to our own aging process. We are daughters, wives, mothers and grandmothers offering to all women, the legacy of wisdom and respect.

We are willing to assume responsibility for teaching the value of life to all generations and take our rightful place as an "Elder." Collectively we hope to enrich and contribute to the well being of our families and to our communities. Part of our mission is to encourage and teach family values. This, we feel, can be achieved by offering women and men an opportunity to discuss issues of concern relating to our sons, husbands, fathers and significant others. During these special events a separate bulletin board will be used, thereby not infringing or intruding on the privacy of our "Crone" bulletin board.

We dispel the myth that women are no longer attractive and sensual simply because we have reached mid-life. We have arrived into our own right understanding and appreciating who we have become. We are dedicated to the healing of our minds, bodies, emotions and our spirits and we will remain tolerant, accepting and respectful of each other and of others.

We have come together to celebrate our "Coming of Age," and to acknowledge the wisdom we have gained throughout the years. We are... "Crone ~ Wise Woman ~ Elder"
