Women's Wellness Weekend and LUNAFEST

The Village at Squaw Valley was the home for local women to learn about staying healthy and reducing stress, among many other things this past weekend. Women's Wellness Weekend, presented by the Tahoe Forest Health System, gave classes, seminars, and workshops focusing on disease prevention, mindful eating, stress reduction, creativity and healing, skin care and breast health. Sunday had a health fair in the large Palisades Ballroom with massages and free information, as well as Fitness Classes in the Alpenglow Meeting Room. If you missed it, make sure to find out when it is next year because it was a great, seamless program full of helpful information.

Also this past weekend, LUNAFEST Film Festival, sponsored by Girls on the Run- Sierras, was a amazing fundraiser for a great program. Girls on the Run is a non-profit prevention program for girls in the 3rd grade to the 8th grade and combines training for a 5K run and healthy living. With purchase of a ticket, the event included a wine and food tasting in the beautiful Mountain Stream Conference Room at the Village at Squaw Valley, and a film festival where all movies were made by women, for women, and about women. There was also a live auction to benefit Girls on the Run- Sierras with prizes such as a Gold Ski Pass for Squaw Valley, a trip to South America, as well as other many wonderful prizes.
