Remember: No Tuesday Meeting this Month.
Special Workshop Thursday, Sept. 12:
Dream it! Plan it! Live it!
Grab your gear. AWBO, in partnership with YWCA Greater Lafayette are hosting a special Goal Mastery Workshop on Thursday, September 12 led by special guest speaker, author and dreampreneur Traci Bogan(www.tracibogan.com).

This special 3 hour interactive workshop provides you with opportunities and tools to sharpen your old skill sets, and build new techniques and tools. You will be challenged to stretch your vision, overcome your fears, and step out of your comfort zone and into massive focus, action, and accountability. You will leave fully armed with a Goal Planning System (G.P.S.) and a Massive Accountability Plan (M.A.P) to help you stay on track. The work you do in this workshop could change the rest of your life.

A special thanks to our sponsors for making this event possible:

  • Miracles Fitness
  • RamZs Emporium
  • Stanley Steamer 
  • The Right Word
Space is limited. Tickets are $15 for AWBO members and $25 for non-members & guests. Reserve your seat today.

 
 
 

From the President...

What an opportunity to be President during the 30th Anniversary of AWBO! You have all touched my heart and words alone cannot express enough my appreciation. AWBO has been busy: supporting Cary Home for Girls, the Holiday Auction and Raffle, Food Finders Mobile Food Pantry, 
Chamber of Commerce Expo, the Summer Social, and upcoming Work Shop, "Dream It! Plan It! Live it!"

These events could not have happened without the love and dedication of our AWBO Board of Directors, Corporate Sponsorships and the Support and Vision of our Membership. To each of you, THANK YOU for making this year a success, for your support and mostly your friendship! It has been a 
pleasure to serve as president along side the talented and gifted women of AWBO.
