Women's Health in Motion Today - August 8, 2007

Hello to all Women in Motion!

I have great news to report!

WHIM has the support of the most elite group of Health and Wellness Professionals in our community and our local media.

Our Pajama Party on Friday evening, July 20 at the Eldorado Country Club was well attended. Our topics of discussion were financial wellness, to/or not to use hormone replacement therapy, in menapause, and how to prevent arthritis and osteoporosis.

The Eldorado Country Club is a wonderful, centrally located venue in the heart of McKinney. Thanks to the title sponsors at our July 20 Pajama Party Event: Sheila Johnson of Johnson Insurance, entrepreneur/founder of, the Women's Investment Network. Dr. Anita Chin from N C Women's Health Partners, Joe Gallucci of Drugcrafters, Dr. Jason Ulsrud of Health Choice Chiropractors and Kay Weedin of Arbonne International, we had information and thought provoking information. It was a fun and wacky night, with presentations about serious subjects.

Over 50 ladies, many in pajamas participated and won prizes for their wacky, creative, ususual, and pretty pajamas. Prizes were awarded that were donated by That Elegant Touch Day Spa, Kate Moore of Bliss Heaven on Earth Massage Therapy, Rene's Lagniappe Hair Design, and many more health and wellness professionals. Our wacky moments were photographed by Ted Fleeger, of Ted Fleeger Photography.

Our next event is the free Family Health Fair in Historic Downtown McKinney and coincides with the Annual Killis Melton Ice Cream Crank Off, Saturday, August 25 from 10 am to 4 pm .
