We are excited to announce our
morning speakers:
9:45 a.m.: Lou Ann Thomas,
a Wamego native, has become a national award-winning columnist, feature
writer, radio commentary and public speaker. Her slice of life columns
appear in The Topeka Capital-Journal and Active Life, a supplement of
The Wichita Eagle and her feature stories appear in KANSAS! magazine,
as well as other regional and national publications. Lou Ann's writing
experience includes editing trade and specialty publications, public relations,
advertising and promotional copy writing. Lou Ann has gained a well-deserved
reputation as a dynamic inspirational and humorous speaker. Her work,
whether in her weekly column, on the radio or in person, is fun, insightful
and often irreverent.
11:00 a.m.: Maggie Kelley
believes that in this stress-filled world people need to lighten
up. As a certified laughter leader, Maggie will show how laughter is like
a mini-aerobic workout for your body. Maggie is a retired massage therapist
and community volunteer. Maggie attended her first World Laughter Tour
symposium in Orlando, Florida in 2003and became certified. Armed with
a smile and a certificate signed by Steve Wilson, the group's "Cheerman
of the Board," Kelley has been on a mission ever since to help people
de-stress and spread her group's mission to "think globally and laugh
locally."
