CONVERSATIONS With GIRLS!
What a success! The Real Woman on the Run Magazine team spent Saturday May 23rd, 2009 with 26 FAB-U-LOUS young ladies aged 10 - 15. The day was designed to empower girls with positive messages about how great it is to be real! At the end of the day, it was the team who left inspired.
Special thanks to: Shelley Ralston of Xerox Graden Systems in Red Deer for her corporate sponsorship of this event (she also was there hands on all day), Laurie Dupuis of Firehall Catering who provided sandwiches for lunch, Sheena Murphy of The Bra Lounge for helping out during the day, Dani Ducross of Finding Balance (aerobic) and Shauna Wessner (yoga) for their time and energy.
