Washington’s winter-to-forget forced many events to cancel. April 8 was the “Spring Rain Check” date for the Dress for Success Washington DC Affiliate to reschedule its jewelry buying and selling party at the Madera Hotel. Hotel General Manager Jennifer Harris made certain everyone was pampered. Temptations abounded as Taylor Made Gems (www.taylormadgems.com) displayed modern designs with the counterpoint of Gold Palm Beach Jeweler of West Palm Beach, Florida, offering guests the occasion to trade in “have beens” for vintage gems with a percentage of the sales donated to Dress for Success.
Raffle prizes included four tickets to a Nationals’ game and Kimpton Hotel enticements.
Wine and cheese encouraged the happy shoppers who raised close to $600 for the charity, a non-profit organization providing professional clothing, mentoring support and career skills to women who are making the transition from welfare to work.
