FIRST LADY MARY WOOD BEASLEY HOSTS WOMEN'S HEALTH CELEBRATION AT MANSION
 
(Columbia)  First Lady Mary Wood Beasley will host a Mother's Day Celebration of Women's Health on Tuesday, May 12, 1998.  The event will be held at the Governor's Mansion from 4:00-7:00 p.m. and includes a tour of the Mansion.

As part of the First Lady's Campaign for Women's Health, resource tables addressing the campaign's five key health areas will be set up on the grounds of the Mansion Complex.  Experts in the fields of breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, mental health, osteoporosis and menopause will be available to answer questions about these critical issues facing women.  There will also be information available about physical activity and nutrition.

"Every woman in South Carolina is invited to this exciting event,"  Mrs. Beasley said.  "In addition to seeing the beautiful spring flowers in the Mansion gardens, we want women to be educated on diseases affecting them.  There is no better cure for a life-altering or deadly illness than prevention.

As mothers, we all want to provide a loving home for our families.  The best way to do that is to take care of ourselves."

This event will be canceled in the event of rain.
