Good morning!
We are back at PHS Lifeskills Centre 412 E Cordova tonight for the first time in two weeks. While I will be running the volunteer orientation (starts at 5:30pm – 7:30pm tonight), Tiffany will be coordinating the volunteers for the first makeover at Lifeskills this month!
For our volunteers (must have gone through orientation) we will be working with a new skincare line tonight sponsored by Advanced Spa Technologies. We are still looking for volunteers for this evenings Beauty Night makeover program (in Vancouver and Toronto). Hair, makeup, nails, massage, and skin care volunteers are most welcome.
Part of tonight’s volunteer orientation for those who have never been to the Beauty Night space will cover:
Tour of the Space
Overview of Beauty Night Society
Code of conduct
Safety Precautions
Volunteer opportunities
Volunteer Benefits
After the general orientation, some of our hair dresser volunteers will be directed to Tiffany to begin volunteering this evening. Our child care volunteers will stay for more indepth orientation. For our Womyn’s Gym program (Created by Katie Benjamin), we offer child care for the low income women who access the services. By September 2009, we aim to offer childcare four nights per week.
Womyn’s Gym will be starting the September Session on Monday and Wednesday evenings while our group fitness classes run on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Our makeover program will continue on Monday evenings at PHS Lifeskills Centre. Wednesdays will continue to be led by Tiffany Telford, our outreach facilitator. On Wednesdays we provide our makeover program to other organizations that include health services, transition homes, addiction services, drop in centres and other resources for marginalized women and youth.
Our Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 16th at 6:30pm at PHS Lifeskills Centre. If you are interested in serving on our board, please notify us prior to August 19th. Our last board meeting before the AGM will be held on August 19th. If you would like to attend the meeting, please email info@beautynight.org.
Other exciting news – Beauty Night Society is one of the recipients from the Lush Charity Pot. The proceeds from the Lush Charity Pot (a fantastic hand and body cream) are donated to charities that Lush choses. Each charity pot has the logo and the mission statement of the charities that they support. Beauty Night is the recipient of $4000 donation from the Charity Pot Funds.
