Seeds of Wisdom

The Friends In Action was again asked to do all of the table arrangements for the event. We did over forty vases of beautiful fall flower in shades of orange, rust and red with a lot of olive green with brown vegetation . Some were accented with fall butterflys and peacock feathers. The new fashion using burlap strips as ribbons added to the already beautiful arrangements. There were also larger arrangement baskets for the stage . We have done the arrangements for the Seeds of Wisdom for the last five years. We must be doing something right. All the arrangement were used as door prizes, everyone who won one was very excited to have won it.
The event is always free, all attendees are asked to bring two cans of food for our local food pantry. Each year the event gets bigger and bigger. We always have two vans full of people to take to the event. And everyone seems to really enjoy themselves. Local health care groups often have a booth to give away imformation and pens or stress balls and lots of candy. Seeds always gives away cloth bags at the door when you sign in at the door, they are always nice and have the seeds logo on the side. This year they were a nice shade of red and were soon full of all the free give aways from each booth.
Doctor Subidi spoke about health issues for women. His talk was well recieved. Matt Weber an exercise specialist got our blood pumping by leading us in a few exercises for balance and stability to help us reduce falling incidents.
The Keynote speaker Jaclyn Rowe gave a funny and informing talk being willing and able to “Sharing your Abundance with others .” She was so good last year and was asked to be our keynote speaker this year.
All in all the day was fun and informative on several different subjects that are of interest about women’s health and wellness. Each year its getting better and better I can’t wait till next year... Maybe I will win one of the door prizes next year.
