Greetings and welcome to our tenth annual Women! A Week-Long Celebration. We hope you will join us for what has become Baton Rouge's premier event for women. This year's theme is "10 Years of Creating, Connecting and Celebrating" and our celebration runs from September 16 – 25, 2011.

Our annual Women’s Week kick-off luncheon will take place on Friday, September 16, at Boudreaux’s in Baton Rouge. Helping us celebrate this ten-year milestone will be our speaker Cookie Tuminello, author, Leadership and Team Development Coach, and founder and CEO of Success Source LLC. Cookie is also a longtime member and past president of Women’s Council.

The purpose of Women! A Week Long Celebration, introduced in 2001, is:

• To provide a forum for discussing issues that are important to women including healthcare, education, family, community, economics, business, sports, arts and humanities;
• To strengthen the bond among women in the Greater Baton Rouge area;
• To showcase and share the strengths of women and women's groups;
• To explore the role of women in shaping our community;
• And to offer fun and interesting activities for women.

We extend a sincere thank-you to our generous Patrons and Activity Sponsors who support the Women's Council of Greater Baton Rouge and make this event possible.

We look forward to seeing you at the Women's Week Luncheon on September 16 and at the many activities offered again this year.

Sincerely,
