TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT 140 – District 140 held its first women’s conference
December 9-12, 2025, was a record-breaking week at W3. District 140 hosted their first District Women’s Convention with sisters from the District Women’s Committee.
The sisters have been meeting throughout the year on Teams and asked if they could do a day or 2 together, in one place, face to face
PDGC Flowers was able to get the W3 Center to let us come for a few days.
Co chairs Christy Slauenwhite and Karri-Lyn Airhart had a meeting with the sisters to see what they wanted to get out of the time that would be in person.
We ended up with several topics, that helped prepare the sisters to go back to their own locals and start the way for Local women’s committees and showing the way to get involved.
The energy that the sisters brought with them was felt throughout the center, all the groups could feel the vibrations these sisters brought with them.
Brian Bryant and Dora Cervantes stopped in and spoke with the sisters and offered words of encouragement and support.
