Two Southern Nevada events celebrating Women’s History Month 2012 sound intriguing.

Register in advance to hold your place and that of a guest. Registrants are encouraged to bring another woman to the event.
Understanding the juggling that women make to combine career, family and volunteer efforts, this year’s theme elaborates on health and happiness while achieving a happy medium between the many activities faced daily.
Workshops will discuss and take part in methods that will restore the harmony needed for mental and physical health. Information and details continue to be organized, with the basic program here.
