A Very Successful Fundraiser
We were so happy recently to hold a fundraiser at Wilbraham & Monson Academy in Massachusetts. The parent’s association at the school contacted me and asked if I would be interested in participating. I had been working with the school designing custom silk ties and jewelry, so they knew and loved my pieces. The fundraiser was held in the headmaster’s house, with his lovely and gracious wife as hostess. The parent committee and school development personnel did a terrific job promoting and advertising the sale. We surpassed their fundraising goal through the sale and related web sales.
Brian and I set everything up and it looked beautiful. The setting was perfect for lustrous pearls, sparkling gemstones and iridescent silks. I had a terrific time chatting with all those who attended and especially loved showing off the incredible silks which came all the way from Cambodia.
I find it so rewarding, seeing women put on one of my pieces, then look at their reflection in the mirror and see a big smile spread across their face. Everyone I spoke to was genuinely interested in One Pearl and how it got its start. I always think I will tire of telling of its origins, but once I begin the story, my excitement and passion for One Pearl are stirred up all over again.
Brian and I both commented on how nice everyone was and what a great time was had by all. We appreciate the opportunity this school gave us and thank them for doing so.
