Floradale Mennonite Church is the site of the 2015 Waterloo Rural Women’s Mini Conference on Feb. 6.
Waterloo Rural Women is an organization focussed on events and programs beneficial and useful to women living in the region. Today, most farm wives have off-farm employment so the group tries to accommodate all farm women when planning its events.
The full-day program includes five speakers sharing knowledge in their areas of expertise. Mapleton Township is represented by freelance writer Glynis Belec of Drayton and sheep farmer Romy Schill from the Floradale area.
Belec will be speaking on her success as an author and her journey with cancer.
A farmer, wife and mother, Schill, will share her experience of modern farm life and her family’s involvement with the Faces of Farming calendar.
Other speakers include Jennifer Metzger, a homeopath and registered reflexology practitioner, who will talk on homeopathic remedies and how they can help you.
Amanda Brodhagen specializes in social media and offers tips on being an agricultural ambassador and advocate.
Real Dirt on Farming presenter Donna Rogers will share her knowledge on how to promote agriculture and food to the non-farming community.
Childcare is available for a nominal fee and lunch is provided.
