P.S. - Our Women's Leadership Council adopts a new cause for every speaker series, and for this one we have selected Crossroad's, "Just Run," running program for girls 6 to 18 years of age. Crossroads provides quality life-changing behavioral health services for children, adolescents, young adults and families, including specialized treatment for chemically dependent adolescents. We hope you will join us and our guests in support of the girls running program by bringing a donation to the breakfast. While this is completely voluntary and is in no way a requirement, your support would be mean so very much to the girls in need. Items they are in need of for their running program include new running socks, new running shorts and shirts, waterbottles or gift cards to sporting goods stores that carry such items. Thank you for your kind consideration!
