Women's Health in Motion Today - September 10, 2007

Hello to all Ladies in Motion:

I am so happy to announce that we have scheduled our Breast Cancer Awareness Expo & Forum to be held at High Pointe Church of Christ on Saturday, November 3 from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. We extend an invitation to all area organizations to inform us on what they have done to raise funds this year and what they plan to do it in the future here in our area. In doing so, they will give all of us who want to try to make a difference in the lives of all concerned, a place to know more about what is needed and how to get involved to help.

I am seeking a breast cancer survivor to be a spokesperson for WHIM and go with me to area events to invite everyone that has a desire to be a part of our Breast Cancer Awareness Expo and Forum. My goal is to make this an annual event and make it a place we can all come to for information about what goes on in our area to aid/assist those who want or need assistance with regard to breast cancer.

My intent is not to take the place of huge and successful events, but to provide a forum for us to discuss, share and decide which events our area folks want to participate in. I’d also like to mix in presentations done by families, survivors or individuals who would like to share their story. Of course the press is invited to come and do human interest stories of each and every one of the speakers, persons or organizations.

I want to encourage each of you to join me at the McKinney Chamber functions such as LINKS at the Salt Grass every Wednesday at 7:30 am, Women’s Alliance of McKinney Events, The Young Professionals Organization, Stonebridge Ladies Ranch Association, BNI and TNT networking groups to help get the word out.

I will be the presenter this week at North Collin BNI at Eldorado Country Club on Wednesday, September 12. The meeting takes place from 11:30 am to 1 pm.

Please join us to find out more about how we can work together to bring awareness by inviting all area fund raising organizations to bring us up to date on their fund raising activities.

Tickets to our Breast Cancer Awareness Expo will be $3 in advance and $5 at the door.

I’ll be updating the web site, http://www.womenshealthinmotion.org/, our Blog and shopping cart.
