FW: St. Patty's Day author

Women's Enrichment Day 2012


A local author will be the featured speaker at the Highland-White Lake Business Association 9th Annual Women's Enrichment Day at the new location, White Lake Middle School at 1450 Bogie Lake Road in White Lake.
Women's Enrichment Day begins at 8 a.m., Saturday, March 17 with a continental breakfast, sponsored by Snooks/Colasantis in Highland.
This year, the event will feature special guest speaker and award-winning author, Amy Ackley.
Born and raised in the community, and proving we can meet and exceed our life goals, Ackley is sure to inspire women of every age.
The breakfast will be followed by four separate "break-out" sessions throughout the day, allowing time to visit the exhibitor booths.
Exhibitor booths consist of various workshops on topics such as; healthy family lifestyles, energy-boosting topics, becoming more involved with emotions, diet, exercise, beauty, interactive workshops and a whole lot more. In addition, one lucky lady will receive an ultimate makeover, and have an opportunity to re-invent themselves in the New Year! The Makeover will consist of personal training, provided by Formula for Fitness, financial consulting provided by RAM Insurance & Financial Consulting, skin and make-up with Mary Kay Cosmetics, and so much more.
This event is put together for women in the community as a way to connect them with local businesses in our community. With the low price of admission in our struggling economy, magnificent vendors and workshops, and a great way to gain more self-esteem, our 9th Annual Women's Enrichment Day will help you feel good about yourself! This is a great start to your St. Patty's Day with prizes, giveaways, raffles and much more.
