Staying Strong: What's in your toolbox?
Saturday, April 6, 2013
9:15 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Learn about the tools needed to stay strong—physically, spiritually and mentally. Guest presenters will teach and inspire as they share about the tools in their toolboxes. Maybe there's a tool in your tool box that you haven't used in years—or that you don't know how to use. Maybe you've been searching for a tool to help you perform a task better or easier. The goals for the day are to have fun, to inspire, to learn something new and practical, to meet new people and to fill your tool box.
