The Twentieth Century Club (TCC) connects generations of northern Nevada women making a difference in our communities through philanthropy. The TCC produces women’s networking events exploring societal and philanthropic issues.
TCC members share a vision or purpose, but each have a different perspective. Its membership represents a variety of ages and life stories providing for impactful group giving—it is the difference that women make together.
Chartered in 1894, the TCC’s name was chosen to reflect a look to the future and the beginning of a new century. TCC is funded by memberships, sponsorships, and program revenues. It is registered with the Nevada Secretary of State as a domestic non-profit corporation and is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)7.
Our November speaker is TCC Member Sandy Quiroz, Executive Director of Tu Casa Latina in Reno. Tu Casa Latina is a nonprofit organization providing humanitarian forms of relief for immigrant women, men, and children who are victims of crimes, domestic violence, abuse, and trafficking in northern Nevada.
Sandy also functions as a Department of Justice accredited representative. She has extensive experience in human services, including being a certified translator and interpreter, working with culturally sensitive clients, and creating community programs to support immigrant communities.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in human services with a minor in psychology, and a master’s in public administration. Prior to Tu Casa Latina, Sandy worked in immigration assistance programs and participated in mission work in Cambodia, as part of a human and sex trafficking prevention program.
Issues of mental health, as well as human and sex trafficking in the Latinx community, are often invisible to the mainstream community, making it difficult for individuals to seek help.
Sandy will talk about the work of Tu Casa Latina and share a few success stories. We know you’ll come away inspired! Tu Casa Latina is also our direct donation recipient this month.
