year. It has truly been a year a change and promise. Joining
Janet will be Valerie Guenther, District Director for Representative

we can expect from Congress during the rest of the year.
As we continue the morning, you will be inspired as you

Keeper” and Carole Parker who will speak on the topic
of “Becoming the Person Others will want to Follow” (for

You will also hear from FEW chapter leaders who have experienced
first hand how the principle of Each One Teach One and paying
it forward has had an impact in their lives.
Brunch will be included in the morning’s events. FEW
Friday is presented as an added benefit for our members,
