ClubHouse Chatter From the Purple Building...All Wrapped Up For You!



As you can see by the pictures, we had an awesome time during our fundraiser for the Three Day Walk. We would like to thank all of you who came to Eclectic Elegance last Friday and to those of you who graciously donated to Karen's walk. We can not thank Karen enough for her dedication, time, and effort! She begins her 60 mile walk this Friday at 6:00 a.m. in Farmington Hills. She, along with thousands of others, will walk in the effort to raise money and awareness in the battle against breast cancer. That is Karen holding the vase with Donna, a volunteer at last year's San Diego Three Day Walk. Barbara and Kathleen, also pictured, were happy to participate in our event. They were still smiling when they left for they each won a raffle item during the fundraiser! Way to go, ladies! By the way, Karen is very close to reaching her goal so if you would still like to donate and make a difference click on www.the3day.org/michigan07/karenwilkins .
