ATASCADERO — The date is fast approaching for the 40th Annual Ladies’ Conference here in Atascadero. This event is mainly for the benefit of our local community, but over the years, it has attracted women from many other places. Attendance ranges up to 500 women of all ages and is held at the Colony Park Community Center on Traffic Way. 

The dates are Friday, March 10, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., and Saturday, March 11, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dessert on Friday and lunch on Saturday, with snacks, coffee and tea are provided with the registration. The caterer this year will be Amy and Jaimy’s Place, a fabulous deli in Templeton. Ladies will be pampered with a delightful ambiance as always, with linen-covered tables and décor. The conference provides an opportunity to kick back, make some new friends, and be encouraged.

The conference features Kim Meeder, author, speaker, and co-founder of Chrystal Peaks Youth Ranch, from Bend, Oregon, as the speaker. Meeder and her husband, Troy, rescue abused horses and match them with young people who have emotional needs. Together, they minister and meld the love of Christ with people who are hurting and have started over 200 similar ranches throughout the U.S. and beyond. Kim Meeder is a true adventurer who loves hiking the mountains, discovering the beauty around her, and applying it to life lessons.
