Our presenter is a senior instructor at Body Works Studio and understands the stresses and distractions that are common
in the modern professional's workday. The presentation will focus on simple suggestions and demonstrations to put those precious "down" moments during your day to use in a way designed to reduce rather than add to stress. It will also include the opportunity
to experience basic, effective movements and techniques designed to enhance mental focus and reduce the symptoms of stress.

In an effort to give back to the community, the AWSCPA Tucson affiliate has started a tradition of collecting donations for select
charities and other charitable endeavors each year. We also have our own scholarship fund through which we have given scholarships to deserving college students - we awarded four $750 scholarships this year and last year and three $750 scholarships the year
before. We have also collected clothing for the YWCA Your Sister's Closet. This year we have plans to help the community as follows:
YWCA Your Sister's Closet This worthy organization provides unemployed women with clothing that is appropriate for job interviews and to begin employment. They need professional clothing that is stylish, clean and preferably ON HANGERS. Clean out a
closet and bring your gently used items to our next luncheon. You'll receive a receipt for your contribution, and we'll take care of delivering them to the YWCA. Find out more about this organization by visiting their website at
www.ywcatucson.org/.
SCHOLARSHIPS The Tucson AWSCPA has a scholarship program for female accounting students who have taken a non-traditional path to their education. We awarded four scholarships of $750 each this year.
There are several ways you can help fund these scholarships:
$$$ Give and receive... participate in the 50/50 raffle at each meeting - one ticket for $1 or six tickets for $5. The proceeds are split - half to the winner and half to benefit the scholarship fund. OR you can purchase tickets for the next raffle by sending
your check (made out to AWSCPA) to: Laura Foley, AWSCPA Treasurer (fbo scholarship), P.O. Box 41361, Tucson, Arizona 85717-1361. Please indicate "Raffle tickets" and the number of tickets on the memo line.
In addition, you can help this cause through a tax-deductible contribution directly to our scholarship fund at The University of Arizona Foundation. Please contact a board member for information on how to contribute directly to the fund.
