Our First Diva Night was a great success - Thank You!
Thank you to all the adventure-loving women who came out for Diva Night, Thursday, May 8th.. Notwithstanding some interesting weather that day, over one hundred women participated in our 45 minute walk and received a free pair of SmartWool socks. Several hundred women enjoyed yoga, massage, drawings for prizes, munchies and beverages, a climbing class and more. We were honored to have Mark Satkiewicz, president of SmartWool, walk with us, meet and greet attendees, and give a fun presentation on the history of SmartWool. Thanks to all our sponsors: SmartWool, Merrell, prAna and Lole.
We had so much fun that we'll be planning more events for our Outdoor Divas. Look for Outdoor Diva nights this October and next May. More info to come....
Watch for more FREE yoga classes at Midwest Mountaineering on Saturday mornings, beginning Saturday, May 31st at 8:15. Participants will receive a certificate good for $5 off a $25 purchase the day of the yoga class.
