      <title>EMPWR Morning Meeting (June 17, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/morning-meeting-1000am-1200pm-at-reno-public-market" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;CLICK HERE TO REGISTER OR PURCHASE A VENDOR TABLE&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;We gather one Wednesday morning a month for networking and "something else" - sometimes it's a topical discussion, other times it might be an activity or a speaker. We also have door prize drawings plus a 50/50 CASH raffle to support another local nonprofit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Our nonprofit this month is A&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0"&gt;shley’s Toy Closet. We will be doing a toy drive for them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif" color="#333333"&gt;Our regular monthly meetings are free to attend but purchasing dinner, drinks, or dessert from one of the host businesses is always encouraged. We will be meeting upstairs so plan ahead. (Elevator is near the front entrance, the Plumb Lane side, to your left when you walk in.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif" color="#333333"&gt;This meeting is open to all female business owners or entrepreneurs. You are welcome to join us and we encourage you to invite a friend who you think would also benefit from this supportive group.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif" color="#333333"&gt;New things to expect in 2026:&lt;br&gt;
1. Vendor tables! We will have up to 4 vendor tables available at each meeting. EMPWR Collective members can purchase a vendor spot for just $25. Members exhibiting can bring products to sell or information to share with all who attend.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif" color="#333333"&gt;2. Self-introductions - we are growing but do want to build back in time at each meeting for people to briefly share who they are and what they do. There will be two opportunities at each meeting for people to do self-introductions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif" color="#333333"&gt;One is to bring a guest. If you bring a first-time guest, both the member and the guest will be able to introduce themselves. The other is to bring a prize for the door prize drawings. Everyone who donates something will be allowed to introduce themselves and announce what they are giving away.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif" color="#333333"&gt;3. We will still feature a nonprofit at each meeting but in 2026 we are going to choose one nonprofit for the whole month. We hope this will help us communicate more about each organization's mission and what we can do to support them&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>EMPWR Morning Meeting (August 19, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/morning-meeting-1000am-1200pm-at-reno-public-market" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;CLICK HERE TO REGISTER OR PURCHASE A VENDOR TABLE&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#333333" style="font-size: 15px;"&gt;We gather one Wednesday morning a month for networking and "something else" - sometimes it's a topical discussion, other times it might be an activity or a speaker. We also have door prize drawings plus a 50/50 CASH raffle to support another local nonprofit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Our nonprofit this month is A&lt;font face="Open Sans, WaWebKitSavedSpanIndex_0"&gt;shley’s Toy Closet. We will be doing a toy drive for them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif" color="#333333"&gt;Our regular monthly meetings are free to attend but purchasing dinner, drinks, or dessert from one of the host businesses is always encouraged. We will be meeting upstairs so plan ahead. (Elevator is near the front entrance, the Plumb Lane side, to your left when you walk in.)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif" color="#333333"&gt;This meeting is open to all female business owners or entrepreneurs. You are welcome to join us and we encourage you to invite a friend who you think would also benefit from this supportive group.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif" color="#333333"&gt;New things to expect in 2026:&lt;br&gt;
1. Vendor tables! We will have up to 4 vendor tables available at each meeting. EMPWR Collective members can purchase a vendor spot for just $25. Members exhibiting can bring products to sell or information to share with all who attend.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif" color="#333333"&gt;2. Self-introductions - we are growing but do want to build back in time at each meeting for people to briefly share who they are and what they do. There will be two opportunities at each meeting for people to do self-introductions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif" color="#333333"&gt;One is to bring a guest. If you bring a first-time guest, both the member and the guest will be able to introduce themselves. The other is to bring a prize for the door prize drawings. Everyone who donates something will be allowed to introduce themselves and announce what they are giving away.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif" color="#333333"&gt;3. We will still feature a nonprofit at each meeting but in 2026 we are going to choose one nonprofit for the whole month. We hope this will help us communicate more about each organization's mission and what we can do to support them&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="inherit" color="#333333"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="inherit" color="#333333"&gt;We gather one Thursday evening a month for networking and "something else" - sometimes it's a topical discussion, other times it might be an activity or a speaker. We also have door prize drawings plus a 50/50 CASH raffle to support another local nonprofit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Our nonprofit this month is Ashley’s Toy Closet. If you can bring a new toy to donate on our toy drive for this nonprofit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Our regular monthly meetings are free to attend but purchasing dinner, drinks, or dessert from one of the host businesses is always encouraged. We will be meeting upstairs so plan ahead. (Elevator is near the front entrance, the Plumb Lane side, to your left when you walk in.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="inherit" color="#333333"&gt;This meeting is open to all female business owners or entrepreneurs. You are welcome to join us and we encourage you to invite a friend who you think would also benefit from this supportive group.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="inherit" color="#333333"&gt;New things to expect in 2026:&lt;br&gt;
1. Vendor tables! We will have up to 4 vendor tables available at each meeting. EMPWR Collective members can purchase a vendor spot for just $25. Members exhibiting can bring products to sell or information to share with all who attend.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="inherit" color="#333333"&gt;2. Self-introductions - we are growing but do want to build back in time at each meeting for people to briefly share who they are and what they do. There will be two opportunities at each meeting for people to do self-introductions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="inherit" color="#333333"&gt;One is to bring a guest. If you bring a first-time guest, both the member and the guest will be able to introduce themselves. The other is to bring a prize for the door prize drawings. Everyone who donates something will be allowed to introduce themselves and announce what they are giving away.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, .SFNSText-Regular, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="inherit" color="#333333"&gt;3. We will still feature a nonprofit at each meeting but in 2026 we are going to choose one nonprofit for the whole month. We hope this will help us communicate more about each organization's mission and what we can do to support them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;
