Together the Maine Women's Fund and Margo Mallar, Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor, are bringing breakfast events to five communities in Maine to watch the documentary, Kick Like a Girl and have a group discussion with the Filmmaker, Jenny Mackenzie, and Producer, Jennifer Jordan. The group discussions will focus on the lessons demonstrated in the film, which can be used every day to help women realize the skills and power they have to take charge and make financial decisions that can positively affect their lives.

Kick Like a Girl is the story of what happens when The Mighty Cheetahs, an undefeated third-grade girls soccer team, competes in the boys division. With humor and honesty, the film reveals the reality of boy-girl issues and what "kick like a girl" truly means on and off the playing field. Refreshing and triumphant, Kick Like a Girl reminds us all of the lessons learned in competitive athletics and how sports has been one of the most effective instruments of social change in our lifetime.

Hardy Girls Healthy Women (HGHW) is also organizing screenings this same week -- if you can't make a breakfast event, try for a lunchtime or evening event! HGHW screenings are indicated below. Please RSVP to Megan at HGHW if you would like to attend one of their screenings.
