Promoting Our Women Warriors (POWW) is taking place Aug. 15 in Cheyenne--make plans now to join your fellow sisters in service.
POWW is an in-person gathering for ALL women Veterans who are interested in connecting with fellow ladies who have served in the military. NO VA ENROLLMENT REQUIRED. The event runs all day and includes educational sessions and experiential activities that will provide attendees with many opportunities to meet and chat with their fellow sisters in service. Light breakfast fare will also be available, along with a free lunch.
Breakout sessions for your enjoyment & education
Empowering YOUR lifelong journey. Your Sheridan and Cheyenne VA teams, along with our teammates in the Wyoming Veterans Commission, have been working to have something for Veterans of all eras, on a wide variety of topics. Here's what topics we have so far (though we have more that we continue to lock in):
- Preventative health care -- breast, cervical and heart
-
Understanding menopause: What to expect before, during, and after
-
Rooted strength: A journey into pelvic floor wellness
- Sleep well, live well: Sleep strategies for every life stage
- Intuitive eating & making herb-infused olive oils
- Chair yoga for everyday wellness
NEW location, same great event
If you've been to POWW before, you know that this annual event has historically been in Casper. However, every year our team collects surveys from attendees and one common theme has been a request to change the location. Therefore, while we know this may mean more travel time for some of our ladies, we hope you'll still consider joining us at Laramie County Community College for this powerful opportunity to connect with others.
NOTE: Cheyenne offers an abundance of hotels. If you're staying in the area overnight, consider reserving/paying for one well in advance of the event.
Friday night meet & greet -- Come early, enjoy more sisterhood
Several years ago we started doing a casual, less structured event on Friday night, so ladies who wanted to meet up would have a way to do it. This year we're continuing with the Friday Meet & Greet, so if your schedule allows you to be in the area early, mark your calendar to attend now. Details are still being worked out, so we'll share the information as soon as it's available.
