Member Speaker Series - Community Connections
2024-03-13 17:00 - 20:00 | Curly’s Grille, 647 Ridge Rd., Lackawanna, NY, 14218, United States
Wednesday, March 13, 2024
5:00 to 8:00 pm

Kelly Metras, co-owner of Salena’s Mexican Restaurant and co-founder of BOSSY, is a pessimistic optimist and believes that it is our job as local business owners to make our communities better. She believes that community engagement should be the primary focus of businesses, as we are only as strong as the community that we do business in; if our communities are failing to thrive, it is a direct reflection of the businesses surrounding them.
Kelly is taking on her 7th and 8th businesses in 2024, and has learned that the “way” we are taught is not the “way” that people need to be led. She has learned to take the things she was taught as a Special Ed teacher in a school for behaviorally challenged teens and implement them into her workplace. The response has been exceptional.
Kelly’s belief in a community centered approach is reflected in all of her life choices. She is cautious and aware of how her money is recycled back into the local economy, and supports grassroots organizations in any way that she can, often through advertising dollars and partnerships. The focus of many of these partnerships are grassroots organizations that have the goal to lift those in the community that are disproportionally affected by deep-seeded racist policies and practices.

Speakers:
Wendy Francis – White Birch Wellness

My approach to wellness coaching is deeply rooted in authenticity and empowerment. I firmly believe that true transformation comes from within, and my role is not to dictate solutions but to guide individuals on their own journey of self-discovery and growth.
Throughout my adult life, I’ve witnessed the profound impact that lifestyle choices can have on one’s overall well-being. That’s why I’m passionate about helping individuals make sustainable changes that resonate with their unique needs and aspirations.
My coaching philosophy revolves around fostering a nurturing environment where individuals feel supported, empowered, and inspired to unlock their full potential. It’s not about me telling you what to do; it’s about empowering you to tap into your innate strengths and wisdom.
Diane Bly
My philosophy is grounded in the understanding that health is not merely the absence of disease but a harmonious balance of mind, body, and spirit. It’s about making informed, sustainable lifestyle changes, not seeking quick fixes. Before I turned my focus to health coaching, my journey in healthcare spanned over 25 years, touching lives at their most vulnerable—from the joy of birth to the challenges of severe health conditions. These experiences have taught me that while the path to health is universal, the journey is deeply personal.
Simple changes leads to monumental impacts. I’ve witnessed firsthand how the power of nutrition, mindset, movement, wellness, and connection can transform lives. Yet, I know that in the hustle of career and family life, prioritizing health can feel like a monumental task. That’s where I step in.

Register now to secure your spot at this eye-opening event and take the first step towards a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle!
Spaces are limited, so act quickly to avoid missing out. We look forward to seeing you there!
