Thank You

by Kellie Kuecha

Well here it is, our first newsletter.  I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.  I consider it quite a blessing that it has reached you as I accidentally deleted the first edition!

I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of you that have made the Women's Wellness Society such a huge success in such a short amount of time.

As many of you know, we got our start in May and launched our first meeting on June 14th at Maggiano's Little Italy in Boca Raton.  We had about 55 women in attendance eager to learn more about our mission and ready to take charge of their health.  The meeting was a huge success as Dr. Steven Silver lectured on Prevention for Today's Woman.  It was that night that Jill and I knew we had succeeded in accomplishing our mission of Bridging the gap between Women and Wellness.  Your letters, emails and phone calls have been so kind and we thank you all for taking the time to show us your gratitude. 

Our second meeting was even more  successful as we had over 60 women in attendance, and were enlightened by Dr. Jane Groman as she lectured on hormones.  Boy did I need that one!

We know this organization is a special one by what we feel in our hearts but more importantly, by what our guests and members feel in their hearts.  There is a very large need in society today to get women healthier and on the correct path  to wellness.  The confusion that exists in today’s world of health and medicine, leaves most women in a quandary, not allowing them to be proactive towards their well being.

Our club aims to end that confusion, giving women support and friendship and empowering them with the education to make informed choices. 

Thank you to my staff and volunteers who helped to make all of this possible, I could not have done it without you.  Thank you to our members and guests, and most of all thank you to the health professionals that are so generous in sharing their knowledge with us. 

We look forward to seeing you all at an upcoming meeting in your area!  Enjoy your July!
