*Hello everyone,*

*We are pleased to announce the next edition of our ARISE Speaker Series on
Wednesday September 20, 2023, at 7pm.  *

*VLANJ ARISE Speaker Series- "Achieving Resilience, Inspiration, &
Self-Empowerment"*

*This speaker series will include a variety of topics to motivate and
inspire you to achieve your best self. You will engage with speakers who
bring a wide perspective in sharing their stories, life experiences, and
expertise to achieve a more positive mindset. Topics are inspirational and
educational, balancing practical life tasks, to pursuing creative arts and
encourage you to move towards your personal and professional goals, and a
feeling of greater self-empowerment.*

*We are excited to welcome back our next guest speaker, encourage you to
move towards your personal and professional goals, and a feeling of greater
self-empowerment.*

*We are excited to welcome our next guest speaker, Lonnie Bedwell.... Blind
Military Veteran. Extreme Adventure Athlete. Motivational Speaker. Author.
Lonnie's mission is to motivate and inspire others to embrace life with
confidence & courage. Lonnie is dedicated to helping veterans and many
others enjoy full lives and while he is an advocate for the blind,
blindness does not define either him or his efforts on behalf of others.
Lonnie has appeared on The Today Show and Steve Harvey and has been
featured in countless publications. He’s the author of the award-winning
book 226 (the length in miles of the Colorado River stretch through the
Grand Canyon) and shares his passion for life and adventure with audiences
around the country. Lonnie has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, summited Mt.
Everest, and several of North America’s highest mountains, rock climbs, and
is an avid downhill skier when he has time away from roofing work in his
hometown of Duggar, IN.*
