BREAKING NEWS!!!!
MICHELE HOSKINS
Owner and Founder of Michele Foods To be keynote Speaker for the Loving From the Inside Out "Women Of Courage" awards luncheon!
Twenty-Five years ago, a divorced ex-school teacher had children to support, a family secret and a dream. Michele Hoskins’ determination to “leave her daughters a business instead of just a recipe" was the inspiration for Michele Foods.
The foundation of Michele Foods is a secret syrup recipe handed down to daughters from a great-great-grandmother.
Today she sells Honey Crème, Butter Pecan, and Maple Crème syrups that “are found in over 10,000 food stores nationwide.
In 2003 Michele purchased a “State of the Art” manufacturing company located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Michele Foods Manufacturing is an 8 (a) certified female minority owned and operated company.

Michele has achieved much success through her 25 years in the business. Michele’s most current recognition includes feature articles in Black Enterprises, Ebony, Essence, People, Fortune Magazines and USA Today. However, by far, Michele is most excited about completing her book “Sweet Expectations”.
During 2007, Michele was featured on several TV and Radio “talk- shows” such as Montel Williams, Donnie Duersch, and Michael Baisden. Additional highlights include, Michele being featured on the CNN TV Morning Show and “Personal Journey” aired Michele’s story on both CNN and Discovery channels. She has been featured three times on Oprah Winfrey’s Show and on all major news channels, i.e., WGN, NBC (5), ABC (7), Fox News, Black Entertainment Television (BET).

Prior to the Lynx game on Friday, Sept. 12, against the Phoenix Mercury, prospective voters will have the chance to participate in a question-and-answer session with many of the Twin Cities' key public officials and decision-makers. The discussion will take place from 5-6:30 p.m. and will be held in the hospitality room on the suite level of Target Center.
The civic-engagement event will serve as an educational opportunity for new and potential voters to explore how significant decisions are made and how those decisions can impact their futures.

Participants who are 18 years old and younger will receive a ticket to the game and a Lynx gift bag. Adults who are 19 years old and up can attend the event for only $10, which also includes a ticket to the game. All "Who Call the Shots?" attendees will be invited to stay for a postgame autograph session with Lynx players.
In addition to the "Who Calls the Shots?" event, the Lynx will promote voter participation during their two remaining regular season games through on-site registration, displays, arena messaging and public service announcements.
