On Thurs., Oct. 8, a capacity crowd
gathered at the TPC Clubhouse for
Celebrating Possibilities, a speaker
series targeted at inspiring and invigorating professional women in the
community.
The program began with Mary
Marx, President and CEO of PACE
Center for Girls, who shared the success story of the PACE Center for
Girls. PACE has grown 60 percent in
the last 6 years since Marx has taken
over the helm.
To personalize the message, Melinda Patterson, graduate of PACE,
shared her moving story of turning
her life around as a young teenager.
Patterson ultimately graduated
from law school and has recently
opened her own law practice in Jacksonville Beach.
Patterson is now speaking to
young audiences in the area sharing
her story of personal triumph.
Patty Mohler, LHMC and published
author, was the Guest Speaker at this
Celebrating Possibilities event.
Mohler’s talk, “Ordinary to Extraordinary,” lead the audience through
meaningful experiences covering the
many aspects of Mindfulness.
Aimee Boggs and Lisa Barton cofounded Celebrating Possibilities in
2009 during the financial crisis to create positive energy with their friends
and clients.
Their audience has grown significantly since 2009 and has expanded
to include young women and daughters so they may share in the education, inspiration and celebration that
is the mission of Celebrating Possibilities.
