As the Jamaica trip approaches, fundraising continued on the sunny west coast with a "Shop in your friends' closets" event last weekend. On Saturday morning, a dozen girls showed up with their gently used, and in some cases, never worn, clothes and accessories to trade with friends new and old. We filled up four racks and two couches with everyone's items, and the home of our gracious hostess, Sheina, was transformed into a tres chic boutique!



After snacking on brunch, mimosas, and coffee, "shopping" and swapping started promptly at 11 a.m. With a fury that rivaled even the Nordstrom annual sale, the ladies set to work Visa free to find fun and funky new additions to their wardrobes. Everyone left with something they loved, and we literally shopped 'til we dropped. Best of all, the clothes left behind will go with Becky to be donated to the people of Harmons, Jamaica. In fact, we were doubly blessed in that we had so many items that some of the clothing will go to a local career closet to be donated to women getting a fresh start on life. Thanks again to everyone who participated!


Back in Boston, friends gathered at Jillian's for an evening of playing pool to help raise money to cover travel expenses but also supplies for the infirmary and its residents.
Not only was this "FUN"draising fun, but helped us get closer to meeting our financial goals!



For those of you who missed out on billiards, we will have a bowling fundraiser at Lucky Strike on November 2nd from 6-8 PM. Let us know if you want to come!

Thanks for all of your help!
JamaicaNow Team 2006
