MAY 9TH DECLARED DAY OF ‘FREE’DOM FOR MID SOUTH/ WEST TENNESSEE WOMEN
Memphis Cook Convention Center Transforms into State’s Largest Life Support System for Women
Mayors Wharton and Herenton announce All About Women coming just in time for Mother’s Day.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – You know it’s going to be a good day when, in a single stop, you can try Tai Chi, repair a toilet, take care of all those nagging financial obligations (like setting up a living will, a serious budget and a plan of attack to improve your credit score), check your cholesterol and tend to your physical and spiritual health without spending a dime. That’s exactly what women can expect at the All About Women experience coming to the Memphis Cook Convention Center on Saturday May 9 from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m.
On May 9, women from every walk of life are encouraged to break free from their everyday obligations, grab their mothers, daughters, sisters and friends, and take advantage of the more than 100 different free services and activities geared especially for them.
“All About Women is not just an event, it’s an interactive experience that makes it easy for you to focus on the things you've been meaning to: stress, kids, job, home, finances, and most of all, your health and happiness,” said Sally Smallwood, All About Women founder. “It’s a one-stop shop for women, who, let’s face it, are so busy taking care of everyone else that they backburner their own health needs.”
Organizers are prepared for 10,000 participants. “We need All About Women more than any other region in the state and we can certainly benefit from all of the services provided,” says Barbara Trautman, Past President of the Memphis Medical Alliance Group. The day will be kicked off at 9:00 a.m. with an opening ceremony presided over by The Honorable Mayors Willie Herenton and AC Wharton.
Other features include:
· Divabetic ® - a pop music-style diabetes education stage show, featuring fun “Boalicious” and “Chair Cha Cha” workouts, healthy lifestyle tips, interactive games, diabetes education and prize giveaways
· Cancer Queens, a cancer prevention musical revue.
· A special youth program for girls ages 11+ being planned by a youth advisory committee and Volunteer State Health Plan.
All About Women will divide the convention center floor into four “sections” including:

All About Home Section
With guidance from The Home Depot experts, ladies will get to lay tile, caulk and weatherstrip, patch and paint, repair a toilet, install a faucet, gain basic knowledge of tools and the skills necessary to use them safely, learn how to switch 2-prong outlets to 3-prong outlets and install window security.
In Mama’s World, parents can discover whether they’re smarter than the average parent when it comes to child development, discipline strategies and family interaction. There will also everything from nutrition education, love-versus-violence awareness to tips on putting your child to bed safely. The Men’s Health Network will be on hand to help explain, well, men.
All About Life Section
Know and manage your resources with Financial Fitness activities, credit scores and homebuyer as well as investor readiness and financial positioning from the Tennessee Securities Division, individual financial planning, budgeting, and investing.
