C2 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday March 13, 2002 N O B O D Y K N O W S MORE A B O U T GLASS ROOMS TH A N FOUR SEASONS SUNROOM S Women With Wings aims to help others soar to success Sheri S tew art believes en trep re neurs can 't sta rt too young o r too early in life. As ihe founder o f Women With Wings, she is determined to establish high school scholarship programs for young achievers. She indicates, "T hat's when the seeds of entrepreneurship should first be planted, at the high school level. I am also working toward providing scholar ship and loan programs for aspiring entrepreneurs. Presently. I am actively seeking corporate sponsorship for both these initiatives." As well as working toward attracting corporate sponsorship, Stewart has part nered with Cathy Banducci. owner of Blueprint Beauty & Aromatherapy Spa & Shoppe, in Burlington. She has created the unique, essential oils soap, aptly named and packaged as the `Scents of Success.' Stewart and Banducci will market this product as a fundraiser. All pro ceeds will be earmarked for the loan program. Stewart wishes to acknowledge all contributions toward making her dream of the loan program, become a reality. Stewart is careful to explain. Women With Wings is not just another women's network - men are invited to our meet ings, as well. "Although initially, our organization was established as a women's network, a few guys expressed interest in attend ing. "Rather than turning them away, we opened the doors and welcomed men. "The concept appears to be working and a sprinkling of men do attend our regular meetings." She laughs, when she says, "I'm sure they appreciate the sensitive side of our organization. Although, at the same time most are open and willing to share ideas and assist in the growth of our membership." According to Stewart, "during the group's start-up phase, the focus was primarily on networking and assisting entrepreneurs to build their client base. This segment of the meeting format remains much the same. "Inevitably, I have found that every group experiences growing pains and ours was no exception. "Originally, chapters were estab lished in Burlington, Oakville and in Mississauga. These groups evolved and grew. The format has been changed to centralize the three groups." Currently, Women With Wings hosts monthly dinner meetings, the next one is scheduled for Tuesday, March 19 at 5:30 p.m., to be held at Otello's Banquet Hall, 2273 Royal Windsor Dr.. at Ford Drive. All regularly scheduled meetings will now be held every third Tuesday of the month (from 5:30 - 9 p.m.) at Otello's. % W ITH ONE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION H IG H P ER FO R M A N C E " M C " G LA SS 4129 Harvest Road Unit G 9 0 5 -6 3 1 -3 1 6 0 ; " OVER 3 0 0 INDEPENDENTLY O W N ED & OPERATED FRANCHISE LOCATIONS WORLDWIDE W M ~ m i ® FOUR SEASONS . 11 S U N R O O M S O u t d o o r f.i r i m / . . .

Diversification Adventurers sought to teach Wanted: adventure seekers to teach English in Belarus. Group leader Henry Ligas, who took a group of volunteer instructors to Przytok, Poland, last year, is looking for 15 adults who would enjoy teaching English to for eign exchange students in July. "You don't have to be a teacher," said Ligas, a retired businessman who headed a 12-member team. "We teach in the morning and the after noons are spent playing sports and doing crafts. The catch is, everything we do with students must be done in English." Three weeks of English lessons are followed by a one-week bus excursion. Those interested in teaching English to teenagers in Belarus are invited to attend a meeting at the Burlington Art Centre at 1333 Lakeshore Rd., Burlington, on Sunday, March 17 from 2 - 4 p.m. Last year, a group of students pro duced a yearbook of their program, in English dubbed the Przytok Times. More than 1.000 students aged 14 to 18 participate in this exchange. They hail from Poland, Hungary, Germany, Romania and Belarus. Most have already received some English instruction. The students live in `camps' of about 100 students each. The host country will provide about 15 matching hosts to work in tandem with the 15 English instructors. The volunteers instructors, who will be asked to pay their own air fare to Belarus, will be living in dorms. All food and accommodations will be provided by the host country. The dead line to register is March 31. The exchange program has been pro viding English instruction to exchange students in Eastern Europe since 1994. To date it has organized 66 summer school and has sent 750 instructors to eight countries. About 8,500 students from 32 countries have learned English.
