Our 2008 Wellness Retreat and Speakers Training





As speakers bureau chair, I was deeply moved by the caliber of men & women who showed up at Redondo Beach's Crown Plaza Hotel for a full day of training, yoga, beach walking, and networking. All 17 volunteers shared amazing stories of fears, challenges, losses, courage, and triumphs throughout the day as I passed on my speaking knowledge. Our agenda included presentations from our Board president, Cynthia Chambers; Board member/affiliate founder Linda Pura; Grant recipient administrative supervisor MaryAnn Robertson of Marcia Ray Breast Center at Glendale Memorial Hospital; Stage 4 breast cancer survivor Stefanie LaRue; Education co-chair Vicky Figueroa; and yours truly.

Enjoy the photos from the retreat! What a splendid day! Thank you beautiful Yvette for your yoga session. Yvette teaches at Yogaworks in South Bay (El Segundo). She soothed our souls and calmed our stresses in the early morning sun. Wonderful!
