First Wednesday of every month
5:00 pm ET | 4:00 pm CT | 3:00 pm MT | 2:00 pm PT
This month, Jane Nemke will provide a presentation on Exploring the Impact of Color on Human Perception and Emotion. A long time member of our community, Jane is an accredited International Association Color Consultant. She holds a BS in Communications from the University of Wisconsin (Madison) & an Masters degree from the Ohio Sate University Public Relations Journalism & Marketing. She also attended a 2 year program studying the science, psychology and aesthetics of color, with a focus on how color affects us as human beings. Jane has over 35 yrs of business experience, including executive roles in the manufacturing industry that served residential and commercial construction. She was a recipient of the Personal Achievement Award for the state of Wisconsin from the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) in 2002 and named woman of the year by the Wausau Area Business and Professional Women. After becoming a full-time wheelchair user, she founded a website, Designstothrive.com to promote understanding of the importance and benefit of universal design, especially in residential settings.
We will open 30 minutes earlier than the official start time, for an open forum to chat, get to know each other better, share amongst the great collective of women who participate.
This is our mutual support and social group for women of all ages who are living with FSHD. We created this women-only space to discuss health, self-care, and any other topics that we find easier to discuss with other females. Our group is hosted and facilitated by a group of volunteers. We may suggest articles and conversation-starters to get each meeting going, but this is truly your space to share what’s on your mind.
Special thanks to Ranae Beeker, RN, who has facilitated this group since its founding. About Ranae, Ora Prilleltensky writes: “Ranae solicits topics for discussion; sends polls to gather information on what is most interesting and relevant; researches topics and sometimes solicits guest speakers; sends articles and follow-up emails; and takes notes which she later shares with the group. I’m sure that she does even more behind-the-scenes work related to the smooth functioning of this group.”
Please register below and we will send out reminders with the Zoom link on the day of each monthly gathering. This is a Zoom meeting and we prefer not to share the link on a public website (to discourage Zoom bombers).
