Volunteer Breakfast

Annually, WBE treats its volunteers to a breakfast event all their own to thank them for the many ways in which they have made contributions to the organization. The guests include current and past board members, volunteers who assist the board members, people who have donated their professional services, past sponsors and past speakers.

The theme for the event was brought back by popular demand. Everyone was pampered by practitioners of massage, reflexology, sound healing, yoga and the list goes on. Following the pampering everyone was seated for a delicious breakfast while each guest was recognized. As you will see in the photos, this was a really great opportunity for people to relax and connect.

This year we were graced with the presence of Dr. Gloria Burgess, who led our centering with a Hawaiian ritual. It brought everyone to their feet as you can see in the photos. Gloria is one of WBE’s past speakers. To learn more about her go to www.gloriaburgess.com.

We would like to give special recognition to Marybeth Spector, owner of Yoga for Our Times and WBE Board Member, for organizing this wonderful event. Her collaboration with all the practitioners provided our guests new insights into self-care. For information about Marybeth’s yoga classes go to www.yogaforourtimes.com.

The photos of this event were taken by Francis Zera, who is a very talented architectural and lifestyle photographer. Check out his work at www.zeraphoto.com

Our event is always held in August. If you want to ensure that you are invited next year, all you have to do is contact any board member and find out how you can get involved. If you go to Contact Us on the website (www.wbex.org) you will find a link to all the current board members. Supporting WBE as a volunteer is a great opportunity to give back and form deeper connections with fellow members.
