Divas-do-Lunch Westchester, NY and beyond


Divas-do-Lunch is a self-nurturing/net- working group hosted and founded by inspirational writer and speaker Shira Adler (aka Diva Mama), who says she is dedicated to helping women walk the tightrope of life with love and laughter. At a Divas-do-Lunch gathering, women share, laugh, and learn transformational tips and tools to use in daily life. Each month’s event has a different theme, guest speaker and featured vendor. Because the gatherings are cozy in size, the connections have a more in- timate feel, Adler says. “When women come together to identify, nurture and celebrate their inner diva and each other, magic happens,” she explains. There are no membership fees, and meetings cost about $30, which includes a light lunch.


combine forces with other women over 40 and a platform for women to promote themselves,” Huntington says. “The intent is for women to realize their individual power and make connec- tions with other women that will benefit their own lifetime experiences.” Over 40 Females likes to educate and pamper at the same time, she adds, so depending on that month’s theme, there may be a guest speaker talking about financial tips while the women are getting their nails done, for ex- ample. Every woman gets a chance to stand up and introduce herself, try free products or services, and leave with a gift bag and possibly a door prize. The group’s upcoming events are


May 2 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Country Curtains, 1083 Route 9, Fishkill, NY, and May 30 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Chill Wine Bar, 173 Main Street, Beacon, NY. A chapter membership is $10/


month (one year minimum) and includes the cost of all events within that chapter for the year. The cost for non-members to attend an event is $20 per event.
