Commerical Thoughts

I received this post on another listserv.  Thought is would raise a worthy dialogue.

I finally found the Kotex commercial that aired last week during Glee. Really? “Racially ambiguous”?? I am not a marketing ploy. I hope you can view it.

Greetings!

The ATWLC leadership team met today to finish our conversations regarding this year's conference and to begin discussions for the 10th Annual Conference in 2011!

We can't believe it's been 10 years already since this conference was birthed out of a hope to connect women from all walks of life.

Feel free to contact atwlc@notes.udayton.edu if you are interested in becoming a member of the leadership team or any one of the sub-committees that will be formed later this summer.

With you in power and purpose,

ATWLC
