But by the yard it's hard!"

Also if you fail to plan you plan to fail!

Please put your calendar in a visible spot such as your fridge and follow through with your goals. Always have an alternate plan in case plan A falls through.

Women's Wellness Day 2011

Thanks to all of our speakers, members and ladies who joined us in Campbell's Bay on Sat. April 16th, we had another wonderful Day of Women's Wellness for 2011. We were pleased  to have all of your participation this year.
With your valuable comments on the evaluation sheets, we will do better and better every year!

This year, we started with Lynn and Michael's speech about ovarian cancer. By getting to know more  and talking openly about it, we will all benefit as people might notice the symptoms in earlier stages.

The second speaker followed with a talk by Mr. Blondin about  the Canadian Diabetes Association which taught us some basic knowledge about Diabetes.

In the afternoon we had The Wakefield Grannies sharing their inspiring stories and experiences on helping African Grannies  raise their orphaned grandchildren.

As this was our 2nd year celebration of Feel Fit, we ended with an absolutely fun and entertaining activity of line dancing led by our dance instructor, Susie!

Thank you all for the great day and special thanks to The Cafe, Jordan (technican) and Lulu, our photographer and website manager.

Feel Fit to all of you!

Here are some of the pictures to share with you~
