Lautner to speak at February WERC netWork Luncheon
MANISTEE – Myra Lautner, executive director of the Lighthouse Pregnancy
Care Center will be the speaker at the Thursday February 21
Women’s Economic Resource Center netWork luncheon beginning at
11:45 at the Tuscan Grille on River Street in Manistee. The
luncheon is sponsored by Watson’s
Manistee Chrysler Jeep on Parkdale Avenue in Manistee.
Lautner
will talk about an upcoming program being offered to help young
women develop a positive self-image. The program will touch on
topics such as exercising good judgment, self-control, and
utilizing one’s talents. If you are the parent, grandparent,
aunt, or friend of a young woman, Lautner’s netWork luncheon
presentation will be of interest.
“Many
adult women have not yet developed a strong positive self image,
“ said Judy Crockett, president of WERC. “It is good to see
a program in our community helping young women focus on their
strengths at an early age.”
The mission of WERC is to actively cultivate and support the
professional and political development and leadership of women
and girls in Manistee County and the surrounding area. The
mission will be accomplished through programs of WERC, such as
the Women’s netWork luncheons, the Women’s Empowerment
Giving Circle, Women’s Business Support, LUNAFEST, Career
Mentoring, and Personal Finance.
WERC will also build partnerships with other programs and
organizations that are working to provide sustainable
livelihoods, political and leadership opportunities and access
for women and girls. More information about WERC can be found at
the web site www.manisteewerc.org
The luncheon will be held Thursday, February 21 at the Tuscan
Grille on River Street in Manistee. Doors open at 11:30 am. The
cost is $10 payable at the door. To register send an email to
manisteewomen@yahoo.com.
This luncheon is sponsored by Watson’s Manistee
Chrylser Jeep on Parkdale Avenue in Manistee.
“All
women are encouraged to attend the luncheons and participate in
WERC,” said Crockett. “We hold our regular monthly Women’s
netWork luncheons on the third Thursday of each month. And the
WERC board meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month.”
