Today, I went to the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce Women's Division Luncheon and met some fantastic ladies. I was a guest of the Mansfield Family Health Center, but Dr. Amin and Liza (from the health center) knew that I wanted to make my way there for Classy Concepts.
The lunch was held at the Walnut Creek Country Club, but the best part of the meeting was they were dispersing the $21,000.00 they raised last year during the 2008 Style Show and the 2008 Tour of homes. All of the money they raise goes to other non-profit organizations in Mansfield or to scholarships for Mansfield Seniors.
I really enjoyed this group and joined today! I am very excited to continue to get to know these ladies and learn more about this community. We are looking for a new place to call "Home" for our second location for Classy Concepts Bridal Rentals and this may be a great fit for us. We want a community that is rich in envolvement, has great growth opportunity and wonderful people that we connect with.
A lot of the business we do is with people who have money and know how to spend it wisely or with people who are not as fortunate as others and still hope to attend prom or a wedding in a dress that makes them feel so special. In our economy today, we see so many people turning to the rental idea becuase they are realizing that spending thousands on a dress for one day may not be the best idea. When you see people cold, homeless and hungry- it really makes you think twice about spending so much for something that you may never wear again.
Sure, a wedding dress can have a really special memory and significance to a person- I completely respect that! (We do sell gowns every day and I completely know the value in that.) Its really neat to see brides and young women thinking long and hard about what worth is today and the memories and people are so valuable too.
The organizations The Mansfield Chamber Women's Division gave to are so worthy of the donations they made. I was so impressed with the various programs here for students, young people and for the community. They really care and I heard of some new services that I never knew exsisted. http://www.mansfieldchamber.net/Default.aspx
