The Wellness & Networking Event For Women 2012 - images and feedback

My annual Wellness & Networking Event For Women was hosted on Tuesday, 16 October 2012, at the beautiful Alice Art in Ruimsig.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the event.  These include all my fabulous guests, my husband who was the MC / programme director, all those who sponsored prizes and the sponsor: Old Mutual.

I have received wonderful feedback, including that I should consider making the Wellness & Networking Event a monthly event and that it should be a full-day conference.

This tells me that there is no doubt about the value of the event and that it is in line with what I initially intended.  

See the link at the end for images by a journalist from Get It magazine.  The event is also featured in the November issue of the magazine.  be sure to get your copy.

Thank you once again.  We'll go bigger and do better next time.

Feedback: "Dear Andeline,  WOW! What an amazing event! Well done!  My apologies for leaving early but I’m sure it continued to be great!  May you always be blessed every step of the way!  Many blessings and love."
