The next GNO.... 1/13/09 Dress for Success!

Hey Ladies!

Happy New Year! Between the holiday mayhem and the snow days, I'm looking forward to 'normal' again! Can't wait to see you guys!

I spoke with Monique at Dress for Success this morning. If you aren't familiar with the cause, this link gives you a summary ( http://www.dressforsuccess.org/affiliate.aspx?sisid=63&pageid=18 ). We had a great conversation and she gave good information as to what they need. Listed below is from their web site along with some other tidbits she offered up. She did ask that we 'think outside the box' for what women may need to get a jump start in the work place. Handbags are in big need!

She was excited to hear about what we do and said she could really use our help at a Sorting Party! She can take about 6-10 gals at a time and will give a tour of the facility and then we'll jump in on organizing the donations for the boutiques! Weeknights from 5:30-7:30 pm are what she needs. Anyone want to sign up with me?

Here ya go! Clean out the closets again!
