It
is all about the
WOW Factor, what makes
us go WOW!
Join us on
Monday, October 4, 2010 at 11:30 a.m. at the
Hilton Post Oak to celebrate the resiliency
of women and to ensure the resiliency in the
next generation of girls.
Do you know what make
The Women’s Fund go
WOW? The young
women, ages 11 to 13, who attend our
afterschool health education class “What
About Me?” to learn the skills they need to
make good health choices throughout their
lives. They learn the resiliency skills that
help them face the challenges of
adolescence, like having a healthy
lifestyle, making good choices regarding
their bodies, and staying safe.
Celebrating the
resiliency of women is exemplified by our
Keynote Speaker Carla Powers,
author of
Matches in the Gas Tank.
Ms. Powers’
childhood was filled with obstacles, some of
them perilous, yet she found the resilience
to become a powerful litigator for
Shell Oil Company.
More importantly, she realized
she was
a powerful voice in helping others find
their true purpose.
Our 2010 Resiliency
Award Honorees show that our community has a
role in resiliency and we are proud to
highlight their participation!
