Feisty Side of Fifty/Baby Boomer Women

Are you ready for a baby boomer girls’ weekend away? If so, you’ll want to know about the Baby Boomer Girlfriends’ Getaway sponsored by BAM Enterprises. This happening event will be held in Daytona Beach, Florida April 18-20. The weekend will be filled with social and networking opportunities, including a luncheon featuring Bern Nadette Stanis, “Thelma” from Good Times, as the keynote speaker. You won’t want to miss it. So, go to http://www.enjoyyourmenopause.com for more details about this event.

 Mary Eileen: What are some of the unexpected, unique things at the event? 

Beverly: Everything about this event is “unique.”  This isn’t your average women’s conference.  This is a Baby Boomer Girlfriends’ Spring Break.  We are coming together as a diverse group of women who are going to be educated, entertained and empowered!  We’re going to leave our cares and woes in our hometowns and throw caution to the wind on the Daytona Beach sandy beaches. Besides, where else can you go and get to do the Zumba?   

 Mary Eileen: What kind of response have you received since creating the event? 

 Beverly: The response has been wonderful!  It seems as though women have been waiting for an event like this.  Usually, when you go to women’s conferences, you have a lot of seminars and vendors and we’re going to have some of that.  But, what makes us unique is that we are treating this like a real Spring Break. The time has come for mature women to be able to getaway from the everyday hustle and bustle of life and do something just for ourselves with other “mature-minded” women.   

Mary Eileen:  Who will be presenting at the event and what are some of the topics that will be covered?

Beverly: We have 15 presenters who will be covering topics ranging from caring for aging parents to looking fabulous after 40, 50 & 60.  Several members of Boomer Diva Nation will be presenting:

Linda Alexander:  How to Get Started as a Professional Writer

Shirley Mitchell:  Sensational after Sixty

Pam Archer:       Fitness 101 (Zumba workout instructor)

Debra Stokes:    Hearing Your Own Voice

Heidi Richards:   Social Networking

 And the cool thing about these seminars is that someone will walk away with a $100 Visa Gift Card just for being there.  Thanks to an anyomous angel investor, the seminar facilitators will be giving them away at the end of their presentations.  There is a catch, though.  The person whose name is called must be sitting in the seminar at the time of the drawing.
