Congratulations to Marlo Beaton, winner of our draw for a beautiful bouquet from Paulina’s Flower Shoppe. Thank you to all of the women who have shared their thoughts about what the #empowermentofwomen means to them.
Enjoy some of the special thoughts shared by women in Sarnia-Lambton, as well as our partners in Haiti. Their words inspire, but also remind us that there is lot of work left to do.
