There is magic in the making as we countdown to Monday, March 20th for the 2023 “Women on the Move Leadership Conference ‘’ hosted by Forsyth Woman Magazines. We hope you will join us for the second year of bringing our monthly “Women on the Move” column to life in conference form. “Women on the Move” has highlighted the incredible accomplishments of women in our community since Forsyth Woman’s inception 16 years ago!

This year’s full day event is made possible with the generosity of our presenting sponsor, Renewal Med Spa at Salem Plastic Surgery, and will bring together our community’s incredible women who are ready to learn and grow both personally and professionally. Attendees can expect to take part in an inspiring and empowering event at the gorgeous Winmock at Kinderton in Bermuda Run surrounded by hosts, speakers, sponsors, and attendees who are ready to show up for each other and themselves.

EMPOWERING OUR COMMUNITY OF WOMEN

Forsyth Woman has brought together a group of powerhouse ladies from our community—from those in business, to owners and entrepreneurs, for a day full of impactful presentations, networking, shopping, food & drinks, and much more. “Forsyth Woman is thrilled to be hosting this conference again this year! We feel it perfectly aligns with our mission of celebrating women,” said Brooke Eagle, Publisher of Forsyth Woman Magazine. “Seeing this conference bring our column to life was so amazing last year! The empowerment, love, support, kindness, and good vibes that were felt throughout the entire day were absolutely beautiful. I was honored by the feedback we received from attendees for literally weeks afterward and can’t wait to serve the women in our community again this year!”

A CONFERENCE EXPERIENCE DESIGNED WITH YOU IN MIND

If you attended the inaugural conference last year, then you got a taste of what a delicious event this is, but trust us…2023 is going to be taking it up a notch!

This event has been created for women of all ages and all walks of life. Attendees do not need to be a business owner or in any specific niche for this event to make an impact! Brooke shared that, “Each and every one of our speakers were strategically and thoughtfully chosen to ensure every woman gets so much out of this experience! We want you to come as you are and know you are exactly where you need to be!”

Be Kind Coffee will be ready to greet you with your morning caffeine fix so you can jump into the day!

Local vendors will be joining throughout the day for photo ops, an afternoon cocktail hour featuring Thirsty Buffalo and of course, in true Forsyth Magazines fashion, opportunities to shop and support local retail businesses!

Lunch will be catered and offer a plethora of snacks and beverages to give you energy throughout the day. Attendees can look forward to receiving swag bags filled with products and special discounts from all sorts of local businesses as well as the chance to win one of several door prizes announced throughout the day.

This isn’t a sit in your seat and take notes kind of conference! In between our standout speaker presentations, there will be opportunities for community building with two of our 2022 speakers, Jordan Gomez of the Body Confident Blueprint and Taryn Jerez of One Crafty Miss; leading us in an intentional group networking activity to get attendees more deeply connected.

Brightening the Heart of Your Home!

by MARTIE EMORY

If you’re already a client of Kitchen Tune-Up in Clemmons, you’re familiar with their catch phrase “Tunified” – and you know it’s a supreme compliment. And, if not, prepare to be amazed by what this talented, conscientious team can accomplish in a very short time, to make you love your kitchen again!

Through their first-class service, the most experienced professionals, and an outstanding selection of products, homeowners can easily – and efficiently – add value to their homes with the help of, yes, you guessed it, the “Tunifiers!” Kitchen cabinets are the company’s core service – and that sharp focus makes them experts at every possible stage of updating. After your free in-home or virtual consultation, the Kitchen Tune-Up team launches their mission to provide you with an elevated remodeling experience. Owners Peter and Rebecca Mahoney take great pride in their work and their team, with a dedicated emphasis on customer service that includes listening, communication, respect, dependability and finding costeffective solutions.

In case you’re pondering trends, never overlook classic white. Peter says white shaker doors are still found in 99% of his team’s jobs.

“Even if style changes, a white cabinet door isn’t going out of style!” he adds. When it comes to what direction to take with your own kitchen, the Kitchen TuneUp professionals offer five main services:

THE ONE-DAY TUNE UP: Ideal when you are selling a home, the process restores existing wood cabinets by removing dirt and grease that build up over time and restoring the finish in those common problem areas. This service can typically be done for less than $2,000.

CABINET PAINTING: Painting your cabinets a new, stylish color, and even changing out the hardware for an updated look, can make a huge difference. Painting cabinets is the most affordable way to update your kitchen if everything else about the room is still in good shape.

CABINET RE-DOORING: This process calls for replacing the doors and drawer fronts, as well as their hinges, and adding new, more stylish drawer pulls and door knobs.

CABINET REFACING: Installing new cabinet doors and drawer fronts is how the refacing process begins, then your existing cabinet “boxes” are covered with a veneer to match the newest additions.

CUSTOM CABINETS: Embracing the idea of ordering your own custom cabinets is exciting and can create a new, fresh look, or update the entire layout of your current kitchen. You can design your dream kitchen from top to bottom, with the company’s Virtual Kitchen Design Tool.

While cabinet painting is typically a five-day job (and falls in the range of $4,000$6,000), Peter explains the importance of the company’s use of a high-end professional sprayer and only the highest-quality Sherwin Williams paint. Cabinet door fronts are removed and taken to Kitchen Tune-Up’s climate controlled environment for the process to ensure the best finished product. Customers always appreciate the attention to detail, and the beautiful finishing touch to their kitchen that’s well worth its cost.

Kitchen Tune-Up is based in Clemmons, and serves the Winston-Salem, High Point and Greensboro areas, including Advance, Belews Creek, Clemmons, Colfax, Kernersville, Lewisville, Lexington, Oak Ridge, Pfafftown, Rural Hall, Stokesdale and Walkertown. Contact them at 336.970.3419, or e-mail Peter at PMahoney@KitchenTuneUp.com. Hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., and Saturday by appointment.
