They offer a 2 - 3 hour class and can do it at our church. On Sunday, I will bring some of their brochures. But I need to get a hand out specifically about that class.

>>> I also wanted to mention to the group, I got in touch with Rachel, a woman (along with her husband ) has a business in Parkersburg that teaches self defense classes, conceal carry, hand gun & rifle. I explain we were thinking of having at our church something in Oct around self defense. Either having businesses set up tables to let women ( and men ) know about self defense, or maybe have workshops at the church. I told her, we were in the beginning stages of planning. I plan to go to her store to get more information. She is interested and would be flexible to our needs.

>>> In the past, I have had two conceal carry  classes taught by men, macho men - yuck! I doubt we would want her to focus on this, but perhaps some women in the church or community may be interested in this type of self defense.

I put this talk together because I wanted to be able to say positive things about how to move forward as people, not just women.   I think we could use this like a reading, with each topic including a very short story read by different women.   It's meant as a guide - perhaps there are more topics that need to be added.  I wanted to make it manageable as a 30 minute talk with examples.

I think Jane mentioned that we would need a brief dress rehearsal, but we could also have a conference call to shape each short story.  Just some thoughts to add to the discussion.

There's nothing wrong with asking if you did a good job, or what people think of your work, or decisions or goals. It's all in how you ask, and who you ask.

>>>> 11: Expect the males in your life to speak up to other men against sexism and racism.
>>>> 12: Boldly walk only on my path – I can't give away something I don't have, boldness, confidence, etc. and I can't help by always taking on the role of the rescuer. Thriving takes lots of work and constant vigil.
