Category: President's Letter

We were very excited to have a great group of ladies who attended our May BPWEV. A special thank you to Mary Jones who is the host of “All About Women” on WENG gave us a great insight on how to deal with being too concerned about what other people think of us. Mary provided some points on how to be our own person. Mary is co-author of “Incredible Life”, and “The Power of Persistence”, which reached #1 in Amazon’s self-improvement category.

Our state conference is scheduled from June 20th to the 22nd in Palm Beach Gardens. I will not be able to attend, but all information is available on bpwfl.org/State-Conference. Our local organization is participating in the Bra Decoration Contest with proceeds going to BPW/FL Breast Cancer Fund. Thanks to Kim Storie and Maria, her assistant, for volunteering to decorate the bra. We will have pictures at our next meeting.

We will not have a speaker at our June meeting. We will be initiating our new members and awarding (2) scholarships to very deserving applicants. Since we had the Meet and Greet in April, we did not have an Election of Officers. We will also take nominations from the floor and vote on our current slate of officers. Again, we would like each of the current members and our new members to sign-up for a committee. Wendy Namack, who is in charge of fundraising, had some wonderful ideas for fun events and raising money. We are planning our 15th Wine Tasting event planned in January 2026. More details will follow.

I hope everyone has a wonderful summer and safe travels if you are vacationing.

Sincerely,
Sue Hogrefe, President of BPWEV
