Working Mothers Panel & MS Walk Recap

A BIG thank-you goes out to our working mothers who served on our panel for our April 9th meeting: Mary, Carey, Erin and Anne! We appreciate you taking the time out of your busy lives to share with those who plan on having children someday while working at the same time. These working mothers gave great advice and shared a lot of the same helpful hints: don't hesitate to ask for help, take a few minutes everyday to relax, enjoy the time with your baby - time goes by too fast, and don't forget to take care of yourself too! Although the meeting wasn't well attended, those who came got a lot out of it where it was a personable meeting with flowing conversation.

The MS Walk was a success! Team SWE surpassed their goal of $500. We raised close to $700 to not only support research for a cure tomorrow, but also to provide programs which address the needs of people living with MS today. It was a beautiful spring day. Our team of 8 joined 1,100 other walkers around Lake Hood to help fund MS research. Some of us ended up at the free bar-b-que at the finish line to fill up on free hot dogs and chips. It was a good time by all!
