• 1:25
  SPEAKER_01: And I've been there.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, been here for five years, so it's just uh always something new and different, and something new to tackle.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah so you guys are here today to talk about um an upcoming event that you guys are having here at the Effingham Performance Center.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_02: Um, it is women's wellness showcase.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_02: Correct.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_02: So, how long have you guys been involved with with this event?
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_02: Because this is the fifth year, correct.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_03: So this is the fifth year for this type of event.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_03: So prior to COVID, we had a showcase, but it was like 180% completely different.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_03: So after COVID happened and the world got back to being normal, we all kind of sat down and we were like, okay, we really need to start talking about, you know, what we offer to um the community and to Effingham County.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_03: So we started this and it kind of just blossomed.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_03: And you know, my my co-chair here, she's been amazing.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_03: I couldn't have done this without her.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_03: She's always the one that I I'm always emailing, asking for suggestions.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_03: Um we started this, so this would have been in 2011.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_03: 21 was our first one.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_03: And so when we sat down and we talked about how we're gonna showcase HSHS to the community and get everyone involved from, you know, young age to you know your senior population.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_03: And we're like, we're gonna have this, you know, we started at the Keller Convention Center, yeah, and they were amazing, gracious hosts.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_03: You know, Patty was amazing over there, and she was very much instrumental in helping us our first year because we were trying to figure out how to do this, and so um our goal, I think our first year was just to get as many people as we could.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_01: We didn't really have a goal, I really don't think it was just well we didn't know what to expect because we were just starting from after having a huge break, and we kind of did reimagine the whole thing into more of what we wanted it to be.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, it it was just so much more about like just showcasing women's health, but also what can what we do for the community and just getting to know a little bit more about um the services we provide because there's a you know, there's a lot that people just think, oh, you go there when you're sick, when it's a hospital.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: It's like we're there's so much more to the hospital than that.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so it's just um how we can arm the women who actually do make a lot of the healthcare decisions for the family.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: How can we arm them with this this information that hey, you can stay here, stay local, you know, uh for like first class care.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, I'm I I'm a mom with two small kids and I'm constantly like having to like I just had to drive to Springfield for a special dentist for my kid, you know, and I would have loved if I would have known, oh, there's someone here in Effingham that can do that.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_01: But um, so it's just arming women primarily in this community of what we can do for your family that you're not driving to Springfield, you're not driving to St.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_01: Louis.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_02: There's so many of us that are our parents, yeah, and so on on top of needing to know what's available for our family, we're at the point where it's like, let's talk about women's health as well.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_02: Like we get kind of we push ourselves to the back burner all the time.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_03: So I'm on the other end of the spectrum with Erin.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_03: So, you know, my kids are grown and you know, pretty much out of the house.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_03: And so her needs might be different from my needs when it comes to women's health care.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_03: And so when we decided that we were gonna have the showcase, we're like, let's make it fun, let's make it a party, let's let's you know, let's let's do something with all of our friends.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_03: Let's so celebrate women.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_03: Let's celebrate.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_03: And so that's kind of how the whole idea came about.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and also women on both ends, all ends of the spectrum, all women deserve a night out.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_01: So of course that is what we're both really passionate about.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: Of course.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: A fun night with your friends is like key, you know.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: So that's what we are really aiming for too.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: Is educational, of course, and helpful for sure, but fun.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_01: Definitely.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so when we when we started the whole women's health showcase, we were like, okay, so how do we get the message out to all the women in the community?
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_03: So I'm trying to think, gosh, that was five years ago.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_03: So that was our our first one, it was just pink, right?
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_03: And we were thinking about okay, how are we going to transition this into the next couple years?
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_03: So that's kind of we we started doing the movie themes.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_03: So the first year was pink, uh, the next year was Breakfast at Tiffany's, which was probably my favorite.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_03: It was classy, elegant, Dr.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_03: Voyagean.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_03: You know, he just rolled up the you know the cars from the 1940s.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_03: Um, it was just uh that was a fun night.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_03: So then the next year was uh legally blonde.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_03: And then last year we did Clueless.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_03: So kind of themes that I'll have to kind of deal with, you know, women and so forth.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_03: And so this year we sat down and we're like, okay, so we've done this kind of the same theme, kind of the same venue, you know, for the last four years.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_03: We all sat down with um administration and we're like, okay, how are we gonna like how are we gonna upgrade this?
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_03: You know, we gotta like do something different.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_03: It's time, it's our fifth year, it's our fifth anniversary.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, let's do something special.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, something elegant and fun.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_03: And so that's what brought us to the EPC.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_03: So we're so excited about this event.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and Tammy, she's really the visionary of this whole event, and she's you know, and I say this with all due respect, she's always trying to outdo herself.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, Tammy, we are not in competition with ourselves.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_01: She's like, Yes, we are though.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: We are.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_01: So she's always dreaming of bigger, better.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: How can we bring more women in?
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_01: How can we bring more vendors?
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: How can we fit more fun, more information?
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_01: And so she really is like, I'm I'm just her little cheerleader in the back, like telling her like.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_01: We can do this, Tammy.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: Keep going, keep dreaming.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_01: We're behind you.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_01: I'm you know, writing down everything you say.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_01: So uh, you know, she casts a vision, I try to help her get there.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_02: There is so much that goes into events.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and unless you're kind of in that environment or or doing those things, you don't really understand like every last detail that you guys put into.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_02: It's very detailed.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, very detailed.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_03: And and that's the things that I think that makes our event is all the details.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_03: Because every time that we have had an event, you know, the theme, the table decorations, uh, when you walked into the killer convention center, it looked like the movie.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and then the actual, you know, you walk in and you know, you talk about behind the scenes.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_03: It's like the day before, it's like, you know, you block our whole county.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_03: It's like everybody, yeah, I need hands-on.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, I need you here, you know, and everybody has a task, you know, that that day the day before.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_03: And so, you know, I have my list, and I'm like, okay, you're here, you're here, you're doing this.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_03: Don't forget, I need this, you know.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and so that day before, I'm probably a little like a bridezilla the day before.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_03: Because they're like, you are like no, I wouldn't say that at all.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_02: They aren't scared of you at all.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_03: No, you're totally chill.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_03: Not the day before.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_03: The day of, I'm just like, it's just gonna happen the way it's gonna happen, and it's that's how the chips are gonna fall.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_02: We're that way the week before we have like interactive movies and and things like that.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_02: Sheila and I, we always joke, like, you know, we start out the beginning of the week, fine, we're like married, we're we're good, and then we're like, you know, shouting at each other that we're gonna, we're we're divorced today.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_02: Like, don't don't come by me, like we're done with it.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_02: It does, it takes so much to go into it.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: So is it it is it fun and exciting, but yes, like this year is going to be challenging because it is a new space and trying to figure things out, or do you feel like it's kind of falling into place?
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's really falling into place.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_03: I just said right before we started filming, I said, I haven't done anything with this for like in the last two weeks.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I really haven't done anything.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_03: I'm like, everything is just falling into place.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_03: All the vendors have been awesome to deal with, they're all emailing me, telling me what they need.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and I'm like, I'm not really having to, well, make 60 table decorations.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_01: And I think the change of venues really simplifying things a lot.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you guys have taken a lot off our place.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, a lot.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_01: The ticket sales alone is just such a dream.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_01: Such a dream.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_01: Can never go back.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: Can never go back.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_01: But um, yeah, it's just it's just so crazy because it's like for us on our end, like you heard what we do at the hospital, like we have a primary job.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: So this is kind of like a secondary like passion of ours and something we're interested in and wanting to do.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_01: But we have like a primary job that we're responsible for that keeps us really busy, is a full-time job in and of itself.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_01: So we do we work on this showcase for months and months and months and months and months, and it's over in one night.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I think we started in our first meeting was in May.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_03: I usually do it about the third week of May, it's kind of like our kickoff meeting to get everybody my vision.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: We have a debrief meeting in October after the event, and then it's we kick it off again.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_02: Because you have to take the notes and stuff while it's fresh.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, what did we like?
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_01: What didn't we like?
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_02: We always joke that, like, you know, people ask us the day of the event, like, oh my gosh, like, are you like nervous or whatever for for all of this to come together?
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_02: And it's like, no, this is what I've worked toward.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_02: Like everything up until this point has been the hard part.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_03: Today's when we get to see it all come together and people enjoying it and smiles and the even the wow, then you know, when they when they would walk into the the the ballroom or whatever at the convention center, it was like because I was stand at the door.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_03: I'm I'm the one that always stood in the background.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_03: I I wasn't involved with the speakers, you know.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_03: I had somebody that was taking care of all the different departments, I guess you could say.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_03: I stood in the back all night long just to make sure that everything was supposed to be going the way it was.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_03: And it was the the coolest thing when somebody would walk in and they were just like what?
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_03: Or wow, this is like transformed women for all of us.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, yeah.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and it's really fun because when we do have have a theme, we encourage people to dress up, you know.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_01: So like having women be excited about dressing up, and like, you know, like I bought a costume was the last time I ever bought a costume for myself, you know.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_01: So it's like that's super fun too.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: And it gives you an opportunity to be out with your girls and you're you're all getting ready together and you're you know doing stuff like that.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_01: So like that's fun too, giving them something exciting to look forward to and to bring their girls to, and you know, to maybe wear something they're they wouldn't wear in their normal life, and maybe they will never wear it again, but they're gonna have the time of their life wearing it tonight.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_01: So um, just it's a whole experience, which is what we were wanting to give them.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_01: And so we're excited to do that again.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, this year is gonna be it's just gonna be this year, it's just so much.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and since it's our fifth year, we were trying to think, do we go back to a movie theme?
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_03: Now we did have a movie theme that we promoted last year, um, and it was pretty in pink.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_03: So we were gonna do the movie, but we've kind of elevated, we're still doing pretty in pink, quote, powerful and purpose.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_03: So we kind of are playing off of the movie.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_03: But not not the movie where you have to dress up, you know, from the movie cells.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_03: We should still wear pink.

• 12:43
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.

• 18:43
  SPEAKER_03: Now, as you wind your way back to the back hallway to the donor's lounge in the back, some people maybe have never been back there.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_03: It's a really cool open space.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_02: I'm I'm sure we'll have signage and everything to guide you that way.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_02: The so the donor lounge is kind of a separate lounge that we have for our donors.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_02: Um, it's a slightly smaller, but it's still kind of open, and um it's a great place for what you guys are gonna be using it for, which is like ask the expert, right?
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_02: Talk a little bit about that.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_03: So, you know, I've noticed even in the last five years that nothing's off limits anymore, you know, and I think that is just amazing because if you think back to when I was, you know, 18, 20 years old, you know, some of those things you didn't talk about.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_03: It was taboo, yeah.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_03: It was like something that was like a secret, or you know, you went to your doctor and that was it.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_03: Now it's like everybody talks about pelvic floor.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_03: So um, I've got four pelvic floor therapists, and all of them will be there.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_03: So we have a little secluded area that's called Ask the Expert.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_03: So all of these girls will be uh manning that area, and it's gonna be this cute little we got pink chairs and the whole thing, so it's very comfortable.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_03: You can go back there and talk about um everything and anything that we do with pelvic floor at HSH of St.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_03: Andy's.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_01: And I've I've had some friends who've gone through that and they're just like really nervous, very apprehensive about it.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_01: But just the the ladies that we have doing this are just so passionate about it, they're so professional, they're so kind, they're so loving, um, that like everyone who's gone through it is just like it.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_01: I had no reason to be scared.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_01: Like I had no reason not to be scared.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_02: My sister-in-law Caitlin um said camp, she's she does a lot of that, and she is she's just they're they do all of these special classes and courses, they're all learned like so educated about all of it.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_02: Um but like you said, they're just so like compassionate and caring, and um they they really truly they make you feel comfortable, yeah.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_03: So nothing's off limits anymore when you have those questions, I feel like, in this day and age, and I you know, and I think social media has a lot to do with that, obviously.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and it's just because you're more educated, yeah, because you hear more about it, so you're like, oh well, I have that, I need to talk to somebody about it.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_03: So I thought that was normal.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I guess I should just live with that, and you know, you don't have to anymore.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_03: And so we're very, very blessed that we have four wonderful therapists that do pelvic floor at St.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_03: Anthony's Hospital.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_02: So will this area be like more private, like one-on-one conversations?
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_03: There'll be like partitions and so we'll have it all set up to where it's like a lounge area.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_03: You're gonna go in there, you're gonna find yourself this, you know, nice place to sit.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_03: There's gonna be, you know, um, the girls will be around there.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_03: Um, it'll be more secluded in the little cup, the little cove that you've got in the back by the donor's lounge.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_03: So we're gonna set that up so you can have a private conversation with a with a therapist.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_03: So um and then also back there, yeah.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_03: So then also back there, we're gonna have we are gonna have some high top tables back there, but that's what makes a really different venue this year from the last four years.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_03: So we're really not gonna have a place for you to just sit and eat.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_03: So years passed, you had to buy your tickets, a table of ten, you sat down, you had a plate of dinner.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_03: Um over and over.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_03: Over, we heard from the ladies, we want more girl time.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_03: And we want more time to talk.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_03: We want less structure.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, okay, we're giving it to you this year.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, we got it.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_03: We got it.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_03: We got it.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_03: So this is a time for you to take your plate and your goodies and all that kind of stuff.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_03: And you can come into the auditorium.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_03: Find your place.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_03: Find your place that you want to sit, hang out in here.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_03: You can eat, you can drink.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_03: Um, you can still mingle around in the lobby area or the very um the very front part.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_03: Um, so it's gonna be just so much different than last year.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_03: Very relaxed.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_01: There's no agenda, there's no passport, there's no, you know, it's it's very relaxed and just focused on the just come enjoy the things.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, so for the last thing enjoy the accompanying and so for the last four years, we were trying to think of like we've got all these different departments at the hospital that um, you know, have women in mind somewhere, somehow.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_03: And so we had an area the last four years where you had to go through, get your tickets to put in, you know, you went through all these booths, and you know, we've heard over and over, you know, there's so many people back there, we don't even get a listen to what they have to say because we're being ushered out.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_03: And um, you know, we did to get our tickets for the prizes, and we'll talk about the prizes because we got some amazing prizes this year.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_03: That's right here, yes.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_03: And so this year you're just gonna come in, you're gonna get one ticket, you're gonna put it in the prize bucket, and that's it.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_02: So that's awesome.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_03: You will see our other departments, but it's gonna be in a way different um what's the word I'm looking for?
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_03: Presentation.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_03: Presentation, yes.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_03: And the presentation of the departments is it almost made me cry.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_03: Super cool.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_03: It gave me chills.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_03: It gave me chills.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_03: And so, um, and you're not gonna see or hear anything about those other departments until you actually come to the actual uh speaky speaking event here.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_02: So, like we talked about, you come into the lobby, um, enjoy all of that stuff.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_02: That's from five to seven.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_02: And then the like you said, the stage presentation or like main event um is at seven o'clock.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_02: Correct.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_02: So they'll start making their way here.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_02: Um, one thing we didn't talk about is it is general admission.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, correct.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_02: So um I think there's you know, it's first come, first serve on on seating.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_02: So kind of keep that in mind a little bit.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_02: So if you know that you want to enjoy the lobby stuff, um leave yourself plenty of time.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, exactly.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_01: And what's so nice is in the past, um, you had to buy your tickets together in order to sit together.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_01: But here, you it's all yeah, I I it it's so nice for me, who I've been responding to people inquiring about this.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, you come, you sit wherever you want.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_01: You can sit with 15 of your friends this year instead of just whittling it down to you know, and people are trying to squeeze into the table and makes it super uncomfortable.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, it's all general admission.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_01: You come sit with whoever you want.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_02: Again, as women, yeah, we're our schedules are very busy.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.

• 24:58
  SPEAKER_03: They can come.
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so yeah, that's that's really nice.
