The third-annual Women’s Health Symposium is in the works and organizers are looking for exhibitors to participate in the event—which this year is entitled “Indulge, Inspire, Inform, and Go Green.”
Potential exhibitors are urged to submit their booth registration and information to committee members well in advance of the event, which is slated for Saturday, May 10 at Fort Frances High School.
Past exhibitors will receive a registration form this week by e-mail and mail, but new exhibitors always are welcome.
Some 60 exhibitors were featured at the symposium last year, which covered a wide range of women’s issues, including natural medicine, body massage, crisis management, and fitness.
Exhibitors once again will be set up in the high school’s large and small gyms and atrium, with the cafeteria the spotlight for lunch and nutrition breaks.
Guest speakers, who will be take the stage in the Townshend Theatre, will include Diane Clifford, Renate Winkler (a doctor of natural medicine and a pharmacist with Pharmasave in Fort Frances), Jackie Lampi-Hughes (Energy Fitness) and Jo-ann Waytowich (“Ivanka”) from Thunder Bay.
“Ivanka,” a stand-up comedian well-known for her unique brand of humour and song, performs to sold-out audiences across the country. She will present “Ivanka Goes Green!” that day.
Other speakers for the day-long event are yet to be confirmed.
Committee members also are hoping to elicit the continued support of area businesses and organizations through their sponsorship and/or in-kind donations, as these contributors are key to the success of the symposium.
For more information on the symposium or to register your booth, contact committee member Dianne Faragher at 274-1983.
