Come for breakfast with Connie
October 6th, 2009 | Events, News
AWARE continues its Women in Conversation Series over Breakfast… 
Constance Singam, one of Singapore’s leading feminists and former President of AWARE, will lead an informal discussion for members about self-discovery.
Over breakfast at the AWARE Centre on 24 October, she will share her personal experience with transformation at different stages of her life.
The first was precipitated by being made a widow at a young age, then obtaining her Masters degree at the age of sixty. And in her seventies, she became AWARE’s President again.
Most recently, retirement has triggered a period of self-reflection as she begins the next chapter of her life.
The process of finding yourself has no age limits and is constantly evolving. Participants are encouraged to share their own stories.
Date: 24 October 2009
Time: 9.30 am
Venue: AWARE Centre
Price: $15.00 per person
Reservations for this event are closed.
