L.A girls--need your help!
Hi Ladies! It's been a LONG time since I was on this board--I used to be a regular until a ton of people left a few years ago. I'm hoping to keep coming back more frequently--I miss it! The Nest was always an awesome resource for me. I've mainly been on the national boards for the last few years.But I was hoping you ladies might be able to help me out.
I am holding a big fundraising event on Saturday April 9th from 10AM-4PM. It is a combination of two different events. Mainly, it is a boutique fair--right now we have 30 different vendors who will be selling various handmade items as well as independent distributors from various companies (.mark, Pampered Chef, Mary Kay, etc...) Most of our vendors cater towards women and children. Additionally, my dog rescue will be hosting an adoption fair at the event.
A portion of the proceeds (5-10% of the vendors' profits as well as from donations and concessions) will go to a camp that I am very involved in. The camp is for chronically, critically ill children, so a lot of my patients attend this camp and I have seen how life-changing it is for them. These are kids that could not attend a regular summer camp and also have very little opportunity to do anything "normal".
We are hosting the adoption fair at the event with approximately 15-20 dogs and are hoping to get a lot of exposure for our rescue.
If anyone would be interested in details, I would love to hear from you--and it would be awesome if any of you ladies could attend. We could also use some additional volunteers to help with the dogs on that day if anyone would be interested. Even if you can't help--I would love it if you could pass it along to your friends and family in the area!
It is called Central Avenue Boutique and you can find us on Facebook. You can also P.M me for additional information--but it will be held in Glendale at Central Avenue Church.
I also have some nice flyers that I created to help promote the event--1 specifically for the dog adoptions and 1 for the boutique in general. You can P.M if you'd like a flyer (or could help me distribute!) or you can email me at: centralavenueboutique at gmail dot com
Thanks so much!
Emily
