“This is the tenth year I have been involved with the Healthy Woman Anniversary Event, and each year I think, ‘I don’t know how we are going to top this next year!’ but each year we find a way to improve it, and I’m thrilled about this year’s event.” Rubalcaba said. “The Healthy Woman Advisory Committee carefully plans this event, putting a great deal of thought into the decisions about the speaker, the food, and the theme for the women of Lea County. It is our wish for the women and men who attend the event to thoroughly enjoy the experience of the evening, leave with some gained wisdom from the speaker, and anticipation for the next year.”
