The Whitley County Giving Circle for Women’s Health is proud to present Girls Rock! – an afternoon of fun, insightful activities designed to empower girls and help them to become healthy, confident individuals. 
According to September McConnell, executive director of the Whitley County Community Foundation, registration forms for the popular event are now available.
Open to Whitley County girls in grades 3, 4 & 5, the event is scheduled for Sunday, March 8 at Indian Springs Middle School from 1 to 4 p.m.
Admission is free, however pre-registration is required and enrollment is limited on a first-come basis. Girls should attend with a mom, aunt, grandmother or adult friend. Registration forms are available in the front offices of all elementary schools in Whitley County as well as local libraries.
There will be plenty of “A-ha!” moments as Right-Relations, an energetic professional group of counselors leads the sessions that will focus on topics such as accepting and celebrating differences, nutrition, muddling through emotions, working toward independence and creating a personal mission.
There’s even a special session designed just for moms who might benefit from shared discussion on how to talk about tough subjects. The group will share ideas for providing the tools girls need to become strong women.
In addition to scrumptious refreshments there will be great take-home items for all participants and awesome door-prizes.
To receive a registration form, contact the Whitley County Community Foundation at 244-5224.
