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."
