Held at Decatur Morgan County Tourism (350 Market St. Decatur, AL 35601) from 10 am to 2 pm, this free event offers a variety of enriching workshops and inspirational talks:This year’s Celebrating Women of Character event will feature a dynamic lineup of workshops designed to inform, empower, and inspire. Attendees can enjoy Yoga Flow in the Park with Lynsey Staggs of Flowspace Yoga, learn about Women in Downtown Business from Kelly Thomas of the Downtown Decatur Redevelopment Authority, and hear an important discussion on Women and Domestic Violence presented by Rachel Pyle. Additional sessions include Estate Planning with Christie Richardson, Self Defense led by the Decatur Police Department, and the History of Women in Morgan County with Ms. Peggy Allen Towns.
