Connect to Care

Through a connection made when I was working at one of my Financial services clients, I had the opportunity to find myself presenting to a wonderful group this evening which was  Connect To Care, an organization created by UJA-Federation of New York.

It is an initiative that capitalizes on the vast community and network of agencies to help each other-offering a wide range of services, including:

• Employment and career-transition services.
• Financial consulting, debt counseling, and budget assistance.
• Legal services.
• Supportive counseling and Jewish spiritual care.

We had a very lively and interactive discussion on "Networking and Personal Marketing" and the experience, passion and skills in the room were all encompassing.

Here I am with Suzanne Feiner of FEGS Employment &Career Transition Services

Since April of 2009, more than 38,000 families have been served by Connect to Care.

Friendly Connections

 
 
Last week I attended a great event at the Elizabeth Arden Salon where the speakers who were excellent ranged from wellness, longevity, and of course style.

Here I am with two very good friends of mine who both are in the world of fashion and who previously worked together. 

My good friend, Don Klein who is the 'go-to' stylist is at The St. John boutique on 5th avenue and 53rd and always builds terrific relationships with those he works with.

One of the speakers for the evening, was our dear friend, Leena Gurevich (who I met through Don) and she is the NY Showroom Director of The Carlisle Collection at 16 E. 52nd Street in New York City. www.carlislecollection.com

Over the years, not only do I enjoy wearing the wonderful collections from my two favorite designers, I also have put together some terrific evening events at both locations for my clients-- where everyone enjoys an evening of fashion, fun, communication and building another network/ community.
