Dress for Success Charlotte

Thanks for a SUCCESSful Year!

 

On behalf of Dress for Success Charlotte and our Board of Directors, we want to extend to you a heartfelt thank you for helping to change the direction of people's lives. 

 

With your support in 2009, we were able to help more than 500 women with suiting, employment retention and career advancement programs and services.

 

Because of you, Dress for Success Charlotte experienced a 30% increase in Employment Suitings.  Our women are getting jobs!

 

We thank you, our generous donors and talented volunteers for sharing your time, talents and resources to give these women a hand up.  Our best wishes to you and your families for the happiest and healthiest of New Years. 

2010 IS OFF WITH A MOVE!

 

Monday, January 18, Dress for Success Charlotte is moving to
500A Clanton Road, Charlotte, NC 28217
 
... and 
WE NEED YOUR HELP! 
 

We are looking for volunteers to assist with several tasks, including:

  • moving, unpacking and hanging inventory
  • cleaning office furniture, blinds and windows
  • dismantling racks from the current space and transporting to new space

 

There are two shifts available Monday the 18th - 9 a.m. to 12 noon and 1 p.m. to 4.pm.  We need lots of hands and there's plenty to do! 

To sign up for a shift, please contact us at
charlotte@dressforsuccess.org.  To help us assign you quickly, please add ATTN: Linda in the subject line and then just let us know which shift you'd like to take.  We'll get back to you as soon as possible via email with any additional project details.

 

Can't make it on the 18th but still want to help?  Please consider making a financial donation to help underwrite the cost of cleaning supplies and other move-related expenses.  You can make a donation securely online here. 

 
Not up for moving? 
How about cocktails and dinner at The Charlotte City Club?

If dining out with friends at a private club is more towards your liking, you are in luck.  The Charlotte City Club is opening its doors on Wednesday, January 20 for Dress for Success Charlotte and you are invited. 

 

This special evening, featuring guest bartender Barbara Laughlin, will provide 15% of the GROSS and 100% of the tips to Dress for Success to assist in its unique and vital mission.  Barbara, one of Dress for Success Charlotte's amazing Community Advisors, will match the first $1,000 raised, so come on out, have some fun, and challenge her to make your favorite beverage. 

 

Cocktails begin at 5:30 p.m. in the Grill Room and you can stay for dinner which starts at 7:30.  The menu has several scrumptious items with something for everyone, so grab a few friends and enjoy a fun night out in the privacy of one of Charlotte's finest establishments.

 

There is no set price on the event!  What you spend is up to you -- but we do hope you'll tip the bartender. 

 

Call the Charlotte City Club at (704) 334-3200 to make a reservation.  Be sure to tell them you're with Dress for Success Charlotte.
