Power Of The Purse

On Wednesday, The Beauty Loft Tallahassee sponsored the Power Of The Purse United Way Fundraiser! We set up a table in the gorgeous FSU Alumni Association Grand Ballroom in support of teaching homeless women and children about various aspects of health. There was a "purse swap" where members and volunteers brought one purse that they wanted to recycle and for $10 they could choose to bring home another member's purse! There were over 100 women in attendance, all interested in all areas of their community; from local businesses to the project at hand: Homelessness to Health. Good job ladies! There is nothing more rewarding than volunteering your time, and nothing more savvy than being "in the know." Thank you for letting The Beauty Loft be a part of this organization this year!
