The YWCA Thompson is encouraging local residents to celebrate a woman or girl in their life that inspires them as a way to commemorate International Women’s Day on March 8th.

The organization’s She Inspires Me campaign is underway.

Women’s Programs Coordinator, Nicole Apetagon, says Thompsonites can submit a message they’d like to give to the woman that inspires them and it will be delivered along with a gift next Friday.

Messages have to be submitted by Tuesday, March 5th.

Apetagon has more about their Health and Wellness Mini Fair that takes place on March 8th.

“This event is free for the community to attend and also for the vendors. This event promotes well being for aspects of self which are physical, mental, spiritual and emotional.”

Apetagon says the Fair is free to attend and takes place from 6 to 9 pm in the multi-purpose room at the TRCC.

Catch Thompson Today this afternoon at 12:40 and 5:10 pm for more details about the “She Inspires Me” campaign and the Health and Wellness Mini-Fair.
