The Olivet College Betsy Dole Women’s Resource Center is celebrating its 10th anniversary Wednesday, Jan. 30. From 1 to 3 p.m. in Klock Commons in Dole Hall, the center will host Allegra Bennett, founder and president of Renovating Woman, a home repair magazine for women. From 3 to 4 p.m., there will be a reception at the center, located in the Conservatory, room 141. Both events are free and open to the public.

Bennett considers herself a “writer, observer, former journalist and curious soul whose circumstances turned into a serial home improver and accidental repair maven.” She shares her insights on home improvement in how-to segments on television, in books, home improvement seminars and her Renovating Woman magazine.

She is the author of “Renovating Woman: A Guide to Home Repair, Maintenance and Real Men,” and has self-published two additional books titled “How to Hire a Contractor” and “When a Woman Takes an Ax to a Wall.”
