Have a snack, a little chat and learn something new while you’re at it!
So bring your amazing self and your amazing friends, and join us for an amazing evening! Knowledge is power. We as women sure know how to use it….so let’s take a couple of hours to rejuvenate our beautiful minds!

Rebuilding and recreating yourself from the inside out – Chinese medicine can help! Current myths on mortgages in this new economy – Let’s get the facts straight!

FREE Portland Ecoroof Vendors Fair Saturday April 25th

Ecoroofs last longer than conventional roofs. Portland is at the forefront of this exciting green building movement!
