Women Connect: Finding Your Lighthouse and Navigation Techniques for the Journey | July 26
3:30-5 p.m.

Do you ever ask yourself what you should do with your life and how can it be more meaningful? Do you set goals for yourself and lose sight of them because life took over? These questions can be daunting, especially for women who are already busy, stretched and overloaded.
For many women, the goals you set and the meaningful life changes you want are a glimmer of light from a lighthouse way out in the distance. If this is you, the best course may be to abandon the map, aim for the lighthouse and simply row at a pace that is right for you.
Please consider bringing school supplies to donate to the United Way of Cass-Clay’s school supply drive.
