Here and there

Here and there

I was excited to find an invitation to “Pampering and Practicalities, an Evening for Women”, in my mail this weekend. This is a great event--educational and a fun night out for ladies over the past few years.

People coming from out of town can stay at Stone Harbor Resort, Sturgeon Bay, where the conference is taking place Friday, Jan. 25, from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. There are also nearby B&Bs and other hotels.

This year’s speaker is Chris Clarke-Epstein on “So Who Pampers the Practical Woman: taking charge of your life through change and taking care of yourself in the process.” Chris is an award-winning speaker, trainer and author, who inspires people to look at their world in a fresh way.

The exhibit area presents a lot of educational information, giveaways, a silent auction and more. At past Pampering and Practicalities events, I have purchased books on poetry and other subjects, locally made skin care products and more.

The whole thing is sponsored by Door County Memorial Hospital/Ministry Health Care to benefit the Family Centers of Door County. So it’s a good cause to boot. More information is available by calling Family Centers of Door County toll free at 800/856-1651 or visit www.doorcountyfamilycenters.com.

Until next time, see you here and there on the Door Peninsula, Donna Marie Pocius, freelance writer
