We had a wonderful Presentation event at South Lake Alternative HS It was all the young women in South Lake attending this event. They are such a fantastic group of young women, They asked great questions and some girls stayed after to tell us how much this presentation meant to them. It was an inspiring event.

We had a wonderful Presentation event at Ballard. The Presenters did such a great job! And the girls really enjoyed themselves and were very enthusiastic about being in IGNITE and doing many more activities.

We had a very nice and intimate meeting with 11 young women at West Seattle. Sometimes all the flyers and recruiting does not do what you hope it will do. There are a series of reasons why we had a small group but the girls who did show up were very serious about doing IGNITE and very happy to be a part of the Presentation event.

We had a wonderful event at Franklin HS. It was such a great event from beginning to end, We had a very interested and focused group of young women, probably at least 50, who were all really happy to be there. They stayed from 10:40-12:10 and that amount of time allowed us to fit in everything, presenters stories, Happy Birthday cupcakes and song for Juzen, and time to have questions and discussion too! It was such a happy and special presentation, being Juzen's birthday and she brought cupcakes for all. And we had such a wonderful group of girls who were engaged and serious about being in IGNITE! It was such a special day.

We had a fantastic event at Cleveland HS. It was sensational for so many reasons. First we had a turnout of about 100 girls. Wow!! They just kept streaming in, more and more girls. That was outstanding. Then we had an exceptional panel of women who kept the girls mesmerized with their stories and passionate advice. You could hear a pin drop! And then we had such a exceptional question and answer session which lead to many girls staying later to continue a discussion. There were so many girls who had questions and who wanted to talk to the women more, so the women so graciously stayed longer so no questions would go unanswered. It is the way I always hope our events go, with women and girls connecting in ways that inspire young women, and you can see it happening right before your eyes. All of this happened at yesterday's event. Each women really spoke passionately about their story, their obstacles and how hard work is needed, and rewarded with exciting and interesting careers. They all exemplified success and showed the girls that hard work pays off and if they paid attention and carefully picked careers, the pay off can be a very bright future. It was truly an exciting and inspiring 2 hours.
