On Feb 5th, we begin our monthly Surrey events. Thanks to a partnership with Maxxine Wright, we are able to start offering monthly programming for low income women in Surrey. “In the past 18 months, we have found out many of our participants in the programs we offer in Vancouver’s DTES reside in Burnaby, Surrey and New West. Starting February 2013, we will be offering 1 night of programming each month in each city (Surrey, New West and Burnaby). At our last volunteer meeting in Surrey, our Team Beauty Night members agreed that we would see if we can increase our programming to twice a month after 3 months, three times a month at nine months and 4 times a month within a year. This would be based on developing the resources - volunteer base, donations and community support within each community we offer our services in. Already we have a wait list of community partners who would like to see our programming at their facilities,” explained Beauty Night Founder, Caroline MacGillivray.
If you are interested in joining Team Beauty Night for our events in Surrey, New West or Burnaby, we have a volunteer orientation set up for Sunday, February 17th.

A team of reindeer journeyed
to Maxx Wright House in Surrey.
Arms full of stuffed stockings they ran
into a room full of women in the lower mainland.
Students from White Rock Elementary School
these “reindeer” were
Who decorated hundreds of stockings
with ribbon, bows & “fur”.
Seeing the stockings from decorating stage
to handing out stuffed stockings to the women gave
these mighty reindeer such joy
as they handed out stocking after stocking full oh boy.
12 year old girls learning the gift of the give
changes the flavour of Christmas into the days we live.
365 days a year kindness we can offer
and help all of us prosper.
With love and abundance comes hope.
Warm emotion fills us to the point we choke
back tears of joy
as we realize change is a choice for you & I.
Gearing up for the new year
Girls and women were full of hope
Changing the world hand in hand.
Expanding our programs to Surrey is part of our plan.
Happy Birthday Beauty Night!!!
11 years, 16 000 makeovers thanks to 500 volunteers!
