We are so excited to welcome Dr. Yewande Banire to our August 17th meeting.
Dr. Banire will be unpacking some of the most common myths and misconceptions about perimenopause, what it can actually look like, why symptoms are often missed, and what women should know about their options.
The goal is to separate fact from misinformation and help women feel more informed and confident navigating this stage of life

Join us as we create embroidered floral bookmarks using a beginner-friendly wood embroidery kit.
Each participant will receive a wooden bookmark template, embroidery thread, needle, and simple instructions to guide them through the project. The floral design is pre-marked on the wood, making this a wonderful introduction to embroidery for beginners while still being enjoyable for experienced makers.
You'll spend the afternoon learning a few basic stitches, creating something beautiful with your hands, and enjoying conversation with other women around the table.
When: First Sunday of each month, September 6th
Time: 4:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Place: House of 423 in Geneva, IL

Wooden bookmark template with pre-drilled holes and guide lines
Embroidery thread
