Posted by Dolores Volker
Costa Mesa, CA -- Orange County nonprofit Working Wardrobes today
announced the launch of Smart Women, a program uniting like-minded,
sophisticated women sharing a common advocacy for Working Wardrobes’
mission to help its clients achieve self-sufficiency. The inaugural group of
Smart Women will gather for the first time at a Feb. 16 launch event hosted
at The Center Club in Costa Mesa. The launch of Smart Women will also be
the event that introduces Working Wardrobes’ new Fashion for Breakfast
series.
“As there’s strength in numbers, Smart Women brings together strong,
powerful women dedicated to helping us transform the lives of our clients,”
said Jerri Rosen, founder and CEO of Working Wardrobes. “Our new
quarterly Fashion for Breakfast series is the perfect backdrop for our Smart
Women initiative as our breakfast guests will be able to interact with
successful women while supporting our community and providing others with
a hand up.”
Smart Women’s annual membership fee will help support Working
Wardrobes in its mission to provide life-changing career development and
wardrobe services to those overcoming challenges such as domestic
violence or homelessness. In turn, member benefits include unique
opportunities for women to connect with others in support of a charitable
cause, while enjoying special perks and shopping privileges, including Early
Bird VIP shopping at exclusive South Coast Plaza retailers and a discount
card good at Working Wardrobes’ The Hanger Boutiques. Smart Women
participants also receive two complimentary one-week memberships to The
Center Club and VIP admission to Working Wardrobes’ other client events
throughout the year.
In addition to a complimentary seat at the Feb. 16 event, Smart Women
members also are invited to attend at no charge each of the four quarterly
Fashion for Breakfast events in 2012. Every breakfast will feature an
engaging presentation by a leading expert in design, costuming and retail.
The keynote speaker at the inaugural Feb. 16 Fashion for Breakfast event
will be celebrity costume designer and wardrobe stylist Marcia Lynn Zigler,
who has dressed celebrities for some of the largest events in Hollywood.
Zigler has used her vast experience to help personalities “cultivate their
style” for events such as the Grammy’s, Academy Awards, Emmy’s, the 2012
People’s Choice Awards, as well as for commercials and feature films.
Annual membership for Smart Women is $1,000. Without membership,
tickets for Fashion for Breakfast events are $100. For more information or to
