Community Relations Committee Community Relations Committee Requests Your Help to Accessorize!!

At our November meeting we will be collection donations for the agency Attitudes & Attire. This agency offers workshops for disadvantaged women on recognizing personal worth, presenting a positive image, overcoming barriers, developing self-esteem and work ethics. The goal of the workshops is to help women discover that their most valuable resources are themselves. Following every workshop, clients are paired with a volunteer image consultant to select professional clothing and accessories from the Attitudes & Attire Boutique. All clients are invited to return to the Boutique three months after their original visit to select another workplace outfit. During this visit, the women share success stories and information about interview experiences and employment opportunities. After the individual has found a job, support services are also available to promote job retention.

Please help us to "top off" the accessory bins for the Attitudes & Attire Boutique. We need items such as belts, purses, scarves, stylish jewelry and new pantyhose in any skin tone - preferably large sizes.

Members bringing contributions to our October meeting will be entered into a drawing for a door prize. Thanks to Mercer HR Consulting for providing the door prizes for our meeting
