Fall Retreat at French Lick, Indiana

Over twenty- five years ago, I attended a training that was held at the French Lick Springs Hotel. As a staff member of at a YWCA, training was an important part of our work in addressing issues related to women, children, and families.

Today, I am attending a Fall Retreat at this same hotel.  This  retreat allows women to celebrate success, sharpen business skills, and gain inspiration. All of the training... MK to working to enrich the lives of women.

After tonight's activities, I took a moment to relax and read some of the  hotel's history....

 "The hotel was built in 1845 Dr. Bowles. After a fire in 1897, it was rebuilt and enlarged. In 1901, Tom Taggart, mayor of Indianapolis brought the property. French Lick Springs Hotel gained international prominence under the ownership of Tom Taggart.  Under Taggart's leadership the hotel became the unofficial headquarters of the Democratic National Party.   It was here that Franklin Delano Roosevelt rounded up support for the party's presidential nomination. As the literature details, this hotel does have a rich and colorful history." ( Source French Lick Resort)

Today, it was about training, celebration, rewards, and fun competition.
