Woonsocket – Horizon Health Care’s Woonsocket Community Health Center has partnered with the business community of Woonsocket to create a Woman’s Day on Dec. 9. Grab a friend and “Fill Your Cup,” to refresh your mind, body, and soul.  

The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 107 S. Dumont Avenue in Woonsocket, home of The Muddy Cup coffee shop. 

“We know the holiday season can be stressful with everything there is to do, and expectations women want to fulfill for their families,” said Horizon provider Katlyn Rostyne, CNP. “We want to offer a fun day of relaxing, inspiration, spending time with friends and enjoying all that the business community of Woonsocket has to offer.” 

Inspirational speaker Charlotte Henley’s presentation “Fill Your Cup” will begin at 11 a.m. and end at noon. Henley has worked as a fitness trainer, community facilitator, and college professor. Through that experience, she developed expertise in wellness, leadership, team building, group facilitation, positive psychology, personality traits and active learning. 

“All of my keynotes and workshops, regardless of topic, reflect one basic theme; the human spirit thrives when surrounded by positive energy,” Henley said on her website. “The more positive energy you generate the more joy will come to your life.” 

Along with Henley’s presentation, there are a variety of special activities planned to include:

The Back 9 hosted a fall golf league this year from mid-Sept. to Nov. 22. There were teams made up of two males, two females, or one male-one female. At the end of the regular-season play, the teams were put together as four-person teams, depending on their results from the regular season. Then, the four-person teams played against each other in the tournament up to the championship, which was played Wednesday night, Nov. 22. 

The league champions of the men’s teams were Andy Krueger and Cayden Slykhuis. The league champions of the women’s teams were Sierra Swenson and Morgan Schmiedt. The couple’s champions were Rod and Tara Weber. The winners of the men’s/women’s end-of-the-season tournament were Erica Howard, Dayna Rodriguez, Collin Schmiedt and Jevon Goertz. The four-person team that won the couple’s end-of-the-season tournament was Jay and Deb Ball and Joel and Dawn Rassel. 

With the end of the fall league, the winter leagues can now begin. Men’s league started this week, and women’s league starts next week. There are always times available during the weekend hours on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons to rent the bays. There are over 30 different games to play – not just golfing. There’s lots of fun for everyone.

Sanborn Central/Woonsocket FFA member Megan Linke has been given an honor fewer than one percent of those in the agriculture-related organization ever receive. She was among 41 South Dakota FFA members to earn the 2023 American FFA Degree. The degree is the highest award achievable from FFA and is given in recognition of the effort FFA members apply toward their supervised agricultural experience and the outstanding leadership abilities and community involvement they exhibited through their FFA career. Linke received her American Degree during the 96th Annual National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Ind.
