Thank You
Thank you to all of our contributors for your time, energy, talents and monies. Without you, we would not be able to provide as many life makeovers for vulnerable women through our fitness, literacy, child minding, makeover, and mentorship programming. It is thrilling how many people working together can make a huge impact in the lives of many.
Thanks to Jenni Graham, Courtney Krause, Danielle Robson, Laura Volpatti, Thea Cully, Sarah Honkenan, Tyla Flexman and Felicity Scott for inspiring our participants of our Womyns Gym program to do the Sun Run. Huge thanks to Sport Med BC (especially Lynn Kanuka) and the Vancouver Sun for making it possible.
Special thanks to Gwen Webster, 2nd term board member, current co-chair Gwen has been an inspirational co-chair and a wonderful front line volunteer. During her co-chair term, Gwen spearheaded the All I Want for Xmas and Beauty on the Boat events to raise funds for Beauty Night. She worked directly with the participants mentoring one participant who is gearing up to apply for hair school. “Gwen is a huge piece of “team beauty night” – our wonderful blend of board, staff, and volunteers. Her contribution of time, energy, and skills have been priceless to Beauty Night and to me. She made my transition from board to staff easier than I thought it would be. We are very lucky to have such a wonderful board and Gwen has been such a fantastic part of it,” says Beauty Night founder and national executive director, Caroline MacGilivray. “She is a dear friend and has contributed her time, energy and innovation to Beauty Night. Although Gwen is stepping off the board, I am thrilled that she is still on “Team Beauty Night.”

In the Media
On Saturday, May 1, 2010, Beauty Night’s Women’s Gym Volunteers including special volunteer Sport Med BC’s Walk/Run Coach, Lynn Kanuka ( Olympic Bronze Medalist in 1984) were featured in the Vancouver Sun. 7 participants are training for the Sun Run on May 9th! Spearheaded by Kanuka, the Vancouver Sun sponsored the participant’s entries and sport med BC sponsored the web coaching. It was inspiring to have Lynn Kanuka on site training the participants last Monday. Volunteers and participants got to try Lynn’s coaching first hand, hold her Olympic Torch and hear many inspirational things. http://www.vancouversun.com/health/these+women+life+makeovers+challenge/2973151/story.html
This Thursday, Erin Shaw’s piece about our makeover program ran on ShawTV’s Express. This Wednesday, Erin will be covering the Womyns Gym Sun Run training session. As we count down the days until May 9th, the women continue to follow Sport Med BC’s web coaching. Special thanks to all of our Womyns Gym volunteers and Program Coordinators Tyla Flexman and Felicity Scott.
