Learning Your Limits and Setting Your Margins
Discover how to rebalance, restore, and renew your own health and happiness at the 5th Annual Women's Gathering! Enjoy an exquisite lunch in the beautiful surroundings of the Woman?s Club as we explore the concept of "margin" and how it can help restore emotional, physical, financial, and time reserves to our overloaded lives.
As you arrive, bid on the silent auction items, peruse and purchase books written by our keynote speaker, and then sit down for a wonderful lunch and program emceed by Billie Kubly, Rogers Memorial Hospital SPIRIT OF GIVING Honoree.
