SUITED FOR CHANGE!

I received a request to use the blog for a little bit of promotion for something other then Andy's Dad or Luke's Wings. I almost immediately obliged. If the least that I can do is put the information out there, so that all 4 of my readers can check it out -- I am more then happy. Especially when it is a cause as great as this Suited for Change.
A lady named Marlene Hall contacted me with information about the soiree that Suited for Change is putting on later this month... not only am I happy to put the info. out there for all of you to look into. I plan on attending their upcoming event!

Suited for Change is a founding member of The Women's Alliance, a national organization of independent community-based "sister organizations" who provide professional attire, career skills training and related services to low-income women. Founded in 1992, Suited for Change provides professional clothing and ongoing career and life skills education to these women to increase their employment and job retention potential and to contribute to their economic independence. Their services are available at no charge and by referral only to low-income women who have completed job readiness programs and are seeking employment.

Ladies and Gentleman, that's legit. I count my lucky starts on several occasions that a man named Christopher Jones walked into my life. Or I could still be a single mama, trying to raise two children, work, hold it together, you know... do it all. It's not easy. Not to mention the women that don't have the financial resources to educate themselves, let alone afford a pant suit to wear to the one job interview they have been able to nail down. Sometimes, it's a lot harder then it looks on the surface people. Suited for Change, I dig it. I encourage everyone to please check out more about them at http://www.suitedforchange.org/ or http://www.thewomensalliance.org/

I try and attend anything that's deemed a soiree. It just sounds fabulous. And, personally -- I love feeling as if I am a part of something fabulous. I have to say though, it's not just the fact that their event is a soiree that will make it amazing. This cause is an important one! Please support Suited for Change!
