	Fit4Me Launched! UofL Women's Volleyball teammates practice with Fit4Me girls. Middle-school girls were passing, shooting, and kicking last weekend at the start of our new Fit4Me Program. Just before the University of Louisville women's basketball game, athletes from the university held a sports clinic that introduced the girls to eight different sports, including soccer, basketball, and field hockey. The 45 girls come from two pilot sites--Southern Leadership Academy and Walnut Street Baptist Church--and will participate in the six-week program, promoting fitness, healthy nutrition, and self-esteem. Women 4 Women is leading this project in partnership with Bellarmine University School of Nursing, University of Louisville Athletic Department and The Mayor's Healthy Hometown program.
	Another Bold Initiative Our board recently approved an exciting new coaching and mentoring program for women and girls. Just imagine if we could connect every woman in this community with another who'd share encouragement, knowledge, resources, and networks! This new program will help do just that, by offering mentoring and coaching to women in a variety of ways. We'll soon be hiring a project director to develop the pilot program and secure funding, so stay tuned for news on this key initiative. Lunch? It's never to early too start thinking about lunch--especially our annual luncheon in the fall! We're still in the planning stages, so if you have a wish list of possible speakers for this year's event, please let us know. Fore!
