06 Sep WOGA September Newsletter
As we move into fall, life can seem to be overwhelming and crazy. Events in the world (politics, weather!) can feel all consuming, especially when layered on top of work, kids going back to school, etc. Take a few minutes for yourself this month to reflect on the seasons changing, the things in your life you’re grateful for and what you are looking forward to in the future. We hope that includes the WOGA Holiday Party (see below)!
Houston Disaster Relief
As we’re all aware, Hurricane Harvey has caused incredible devastation in Texas and particularly the Houston area. Houston is home to many of our friends, families and companies associated with the Oil and Gas industry. WOGA would like to encourage you to donate to the relief efforts if you have not already. Below are several options for donation. #houstonstrong

WOGA Sporting Clays Clinic – Recap
The WOGA Sporting Clays Clinic was another great event! The ladies fought through a windy afternoon to learn more about shooting a shotgun, shot placement and tracking the clays. It was a fun and informative event! If you attended, please feel free to send us your feedback on the event at info@wogacolorado.org
Thanks again to MMR for sponsoring this event! https://www.mmrgrp.com

Lia has been participating in the WOGA Lean In Circle lunches and is excited to be more involved with WOGA.
Alex Sale
Alex Sale has four years of experience in the oil and gas industry, focused specifically in Reservoir, Completion and Production Engineering and has been an active member of WOGA for the past few years.
