Guest speakers will include keynote presenter Patty Lennon, CEO and founder of Mom Gets a Life. Ms Lennon is a mom, advocate, coach, writer and speaker who believes in the power of intuition, taking action and a world where woman can be successful mothers and successful individuals at the same time.

Personal stylist Allison McConnell, of the fashion blog Analogue Chic, will also be a guest speaker. Ms McConnell is a Connecticut native with a cosmopolitan streak. She loves travel, the arts, and irreverent fun. Blessed with a mom and grandma who are die-hard needlecrafters, she has been stitching and playing with fabric since grade school.

The evening will also consist of raffle items and a silent auction to include an African Photo Safari, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.

“Learn about valuing yourself even when you are a mom. Figure out how to fall in love with fashion, and your wardrobe, all over again,” says Lisa Agresta, one of the event’s coordinators.
