June 4, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Team Beauty Night Volunteers: Caroline MacGillivray, Kristin Guy, Annie Bennett, Tyla Flexman, Kim Pacquette, and Arline Trividic

Smell This and Feel Better With Smell This Aromatherapy Scent Bar
The room smelled amazing! Beauty Night participants got to create their own “pure” fume of essential oils. Nicole and Arline from Smell This Aromatherapy guided our participants to create their own scents. Names such as “Tyla” (after participant’s favourite volunteer), “My Own Creation”, and “hope” were some “pure” fume names.

Barefoot & Bubbly: #Pedis4cause
The Month of May wrapped with a splash. Barefoot Wines and Absolute Spa Group hosted a party at English Bay Boathouse. Those who attended the private event were treated to wine, pedicures and wonderful appetizers. Hosted by Urban Rush’s Fiona Forbes, attendees were encourages to tweet about the party using the hash tag #pedis4cause. For each tweet a donation from Barefoot Wine was given to our cause. It was an amazing night where we got to connect with so many people who support our cause. Compliments of Dianne Chow, here are some photos from the event. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.387337544660106.84488.141445145916015&type=1
Queen Elizabeth Secondary Students Aim to Win $5000 for our Cause
Cross your fingers, our friends from Queen Elizabeth Secondary made phase 2 for the YPI Cares contest with their presentation of Beauty Night. If they win, YPI Cares will donate $5000 for our cause. YPI is an initiative where grade 10 students create a presentation about the charity of choice. If chosen, the charity of choice will be given $5000. Each school is able to chose a recipient.

Last year, students from Bal Moral Secondary School (Carson Graham) won the YPI Cares for their school. This the video they created last year. http://youtu.be/VtRzHEJq1jY

The support did not stop there. One of our Bal Moral supporters, Terry-Dayne Beasley donated his birthday money to our cause. His mother and sister now volunteer for us too.

Upcoming Events:
The next few weeks promise to be busy and exciting time. Although our AGM is June 19th, there are many many ways you can support our cause. Tell your friends. Please share events on facebook, twitter, linked in. Come to events - great way to connect with other volunteers and to support our cause.

Beauty Night News: Week of May 28th

Rice Block last Thursday.

I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who made last Tuesday run smoothly. By 4:30pm we had 50+ women signed up for dinner. By the time we opened the doors, we had over 63 women in for dinner. We recruited one of our participants Corina to give us a hand. She told the ladies that we knew that everyone was hungry and that we did not want to turn anyone away. She let them know we were splitting the portions in half so we would be able to serve more women. She called out the first 10 women on the list to come up. As she went through the list of 50 women, Adrianna greeted new comers at the door and explained the situation. After Corina made sure the first 50 women had been fed, Adrianna gave her the new list which had an additional 13 women on it. It was a busy busy night. By the end of the night, we had well over 110 people come through the doors.

With cheque issue the following day, it was busy and at times stressful. I want to thank everyone for being such an incredible team. You bring so much joy into the fabric of our community - thank you!

Empowered Health (airs on Chek 6 at 7pm on June 7th) came in to do a story. Tonight, the Vancouver Sun will be by to do a profile piece about our cause. The story will go to print on June 7th in conjunction with the Empowered Health piece.

Thursday night at Rice Block was the exact opposite of Tuesday evening. Due to staff changes, they did not know we were coming. It was a quiet evening but the ladies who did come had a fantastic time. The follow up emails we’ve had from their management team show they are in agreement that we should continue to offer our programming on the Thursday after cheque issue at their location. To quote one of the women: “If you weren’t here, I would be lying around my room trying not to go to the alley. Thank you for being here.”
