5th Annual International Women's Day Celebration, a Resounding Success! .... by Lori Ruhlman

     Linda Larsen had the audience in stitches as she gave tips on the power of positive thinking in a comedic performance at the Lodge for the Skaneateles Rotary Club’s fifth annual International Women’s Day celebration Thursday. 
     She titled her talk “Staying right side up when everything is upside down,” but said it’s really about knowing how to “recover more quickly” when things are upside down.
     “What I’ve learned in life is that there is What I Planned … and What Actually Happens,” she said.
     “We’re wired to look for what’s wrong,” she said, noting that people have 40,000 thoughts a day “and 90 percent are negative.” She talked about how make change with positive thoughts. “You are in charge of your thoughts,” she said. “What you name that thing, it tends to become.
     Loren Barrigar and Robin Munn provided entertainment as the evening kicked off with food stations and a room full of vendors who focused on all aspects of wellness: physical, emotional, intellectual, occupational, social, and spiritual. 
Partner sponsors 4M Precision Industries, Inc. and Tessy Plastics Corporation were also joined by WHMB Law P.C., The Sherwood Inn, The Patisserie, Smiles of Skaneateles, CNY Healing Arts Wellness center & Spa, Achilles Heel Training, Delmonico Insurance Agency, and Fleur- de- Lis Florist.

Our kudos go out to Amy and her dedicated team of Rotarians to planned and organize the fabulous IWD event.

The “upper room’s” dinner capacity is 75—so PLEASE-e-mail [CLICK HERE] your reservation by noon Tuesday March 12th. With many guests we need to have an accurate headcount by Tuesday.   We are having a delicious chicken & biscuit dinner prepared by Brad & Ann Cole.
