Today's Woman Expo 2007

2007 Guest Speaker: Vicki Lawrence

Today’s Woman 7th Annual Expo provides a program wealthy in content, activities and exhibits.  On Saturday, October 20, 2007 from 9am-3pm the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds was consumed with activities, exhibits and presentations focused on the Whole Health of Today’s Woman. 

The Today’s Woman Foundation and Choice Medical Group for the 7th year have coordinated an Expo filled with content to enhance, inspire, expose and education women of the High Desert to the variety of resources, services and products available in their own backyard.  The primary focus of our Expo is to address the whole health (mind, body and spirit) of Today’s Woman.  We take great pride in attracting sponsors, trade partners, vendors, guest speakers and participants who support and offer opportunities for women to improve the quality of their lives. 

With the diversity and growth of the High Desert it’s vital for us to continue to have a feeling that we belong to a community that cares and is supportive of enhancing our minds, body and spirit.  With a substantial number of women being the head of households and primary breadwinners, it’s important for businesses to recognize the importance and value of knowing, meeting and serving this consumer…Today’s Woman!

We take even greater pride in giving back to our community by providing an exciting, fun-filled and informative Expo for all women.  The icing on the cake being the opportunity to donate the proceeds from this community attended and supported event back to our local American Cancer Society. The work and services that the American Cancer Society provides is an invaluable resource.
