What a wonderful day we had last weekend at our Alumni Workshop entitled “Women of Inspiration.” The workshop was well attended by 22 women who have been through the Elizabeth House program, volunteers, and a few board members. The alumni started off the day shopping through our donated purses from Brighton Collectibles and clothing from various local stores. After filling their bags and enjoying reconnecting with the other women, we all sat down to a wonderful brunch of fruit, blueberry bread and quiche. Our volunteer liaisons did a beautiful job of decorating and hosting each of their tables. We are so thankful for all of them giving their time and commitment in helping to provide such a special day for the Alumni. After brunch our speakers, Kaye Schneider and Danica Grier, shared their life stories with us. Even though they told two very different stories, each story resonated with the women and brought inspiration to us all. To end the day, each alumnus was given a goody bag and pictures were taken to remember the day and then they said their goodbyes.
