Families come to YWCA shelters from all of Los Angeles County.
Last year nearly 3000 women received the gift of safety, hope, a chance for self-sufficiency and a fresh start with their children through the Glendale YWCA.

This year I was invited to be the keynote speaker at this honorable event.
I will be sharing insights into Living Beyond Organic and helpful tips that will help you claim and maintain your good health.

The YWCA’s 14th Annual Legacy luncheon will honor recipients of Heart and Excellence Awards
and it also serves as a fundraiser through items offered through silent auction.

In addition this year Tiara Publishing is honored to donate 40% of all proceeds generated from the sale of Living Beyond Organic: nutritional knowledge redefined! at this event.

We hope you will join us in supporting the YWCA and all the wonderful people that work to make it possible!
