Meredith and Sandy from ReluctantEntertainer.com will be speaking on: Entertaining on a Budget

Why practice hospitality when it seems like it takes so much work and sometimes costs so much money to make it happen? Sandy and Meredith are 2 friends who’ve reaped the benefits of hospitality and want to show you why it’s important to live an efficient life. Let them help you give of yourselves to others by entertaining in your home – even when you’re on a budget! They’ll be sharing their different approaches and even hit on the discouraging emphasis that our society puts on “how things have to look.” This message will be full of good information and freeing to the women who want to live a more efficient, creative life when it comes to hospitality.
