* It was a great Retreat.  Classes was wonderful.

* The conference was fine.  Interesting and held in a nice place.  I was disappointed that the dance and exercise instructor canceled at the last minute.  However at no fault to you.  The film was awesome.  Loved the De-Stressed group. 

* This have been a very interesting day filled with very much information. The film was very good information as well as the classes. 

* This event was very well organized and executed.  The only thing I can think of to improve it, is to have an overnight affair so folk won't have to take that early morning drive.  Sure the cost would increase substantially, but it would be well worth it.  More vegetarian choices would also be helpful.  Thanks for a beautiful day!

Justice For Her, Inc Officials and Board Members
I thank team Justice for their countless hours of work to make the new organization a reality. The board is comprised of President, Acting Recording Secretary, Treasurer and Phenomenal Board members.  
The Justice will concentrate its focus on Empowering and Educating women and at-risk girls making better choices in an effort to lead healthier, productive, and independent lives.  We are not willing to give up on any woman or girl ages 15-23!  Progress is possible and we are also here to help the teachers.  We are proud of what teachers do each and everyday.  
The Justice agreed to create an experience for our young sisters which is a better choice than giving a gift, that impact only last approximately nine months... An experience a lifetime!  We're living in our divine purpose serving others and giving-back with excellence. 
  
The Mighty Oak Tree
A thunderous storm got up one night with pouring rain and forks of light, gale force winds rushed through the wood, to where the mighty oak tree stood.  But the old Oak tree it stood its ground when younger trees fell all around,
ripping branches, tearing bark, the wind raged on into the park.
The howling tempest raged and spoke "How are you still standing mighty oak."
The tree replied, I know that you, could break a branch of mine in two, shake my limbs, make me sway, carry all my leaves away. But my roots are strong and sound,
buried deep into the ground. Blow and blow with all your might, strike my bough with forks of light. You'll never beat me for you see, roots are the deepest part of me, and I've found out, all thanks to the Justice, I'm stronger than I ever knew.
