Event Description:
November WOW
Thanksgiving & Gratitude
Through a series of trials I have learned the importance of thankfulness. At the age of 18, a large orbital tumor was found protruding into the area around my eye, under my nose, and into my brain. I had a craniotomy in order to remove the tumor. However there were some complications afterward and eventually it was discovered that I have a genetic colon disease that came from my father and had been passed down to my sister and myself.
One of the primary ways I fought anxiety at that time, and to this day, is through thankfulness. I am thankful I survived the surgery, was alerted of a potentially devastating disease, and thankful that I am alive today to share my story with others. I look forward to facilitating a conversation about the importance of thankfulness, especially in the holiday season when depression is so prevalent.

Women on Wednesdays (WOW) provides professional women with a support system and the opportunity to network and make new contacts. The group is here to provide encouragement and motivation to one another.
During our regular monthly meetings, a volunteer facilitator will hand out several discussion questions on the current?s month topic. Everyone will have a chance to answer the questions individually and as a group. Each quarter we will host a BIG WOW event and invite a keynote speaker or panel of speakers to address our group.
Our group has added a service aspect to our monthly meeting. Our mission is ?Building and serving our community and one another.? Each year the WOW Committee will select a non-profit organization within our East & Southeast service area to support. This year the Committee has selected the Orange County Academy/United Global Outreach. We are accepting donations on their behalf at each of our meetings of non-perishable food items, baby diapers of all ages/sizes and all types of feminine product.
