Dear frenz,
Here's a chance for u to do somthg meaningful for the less fortunate...I received the following email cos leechie is a member of UNIFEM ( which stands for United Nations Development Fund for Women ) u can find out more info on UNIFEM and all their events from this webby: http://unifem.org.sg
Leechie first attended their charity event at Velvet Underground a couple of years ago...they were selling "pre-loved" designer clothes donated by celebrities n socialites...leechie brought my leechie mum to Velvet for this event n showed her the club tt leechie hangout (used to hangout i should say ;p) As u can see, i hav a really cool leechie mum...tell me how many obasans hav been to Velvet? lol ;p Initially, my leechie mum was v.against leechie buying "pre-loved" clothes cos of a few reasons...mainly cos leechie has sensitive skin n one wouldn't know who n what had worn the clothes previously...n where the clothes had been...or if the previous owner was already dead or somthg...but leechie managed to convince my leechie mum tt it's perfectly alright to wear "pre-loved" clothes...esp cos for charity...but i guess she was more taken in by the other reason tt i told her -> tt these clothes were donated by celebrities n socialites (tai-tais) o.O"
Do check out the following email n pls try to do your part for charity n spread the love! =)
EVENT:
GIVE TO SAVE
Thursday, 19 November 2009 to Sunday, 22 November 2009
10.00am to 8.00pm | Forum Shopping Mall, Club 21 Collectibles, #01-07
"We would like to invite you to show your support at our Give To Save event by donating your “pre-loved” designer wear from the 19th November until the 22nd November, at The Club 21 Collectibles outlet located at The Forum Shopping Mall.
Gently-used designer items kindly donated by fashion-savvy and stylish ladies like yourself will be geared towards UNIFEM efforts to eliminate violence against women and girls. UNIFEM supports innovative and preventative local, national and regional efforts to end violence against women and girls.
Proceeds from Buy To Save 2009 will go to funding UNIFEM Singapore effort to End Violence against Women through Public Education Initiatives, Empowerment and Character-Strengthening Program for Girls and Direct Funding to Shelters and Family Centres.
A Special Collaboration
As part of our initiative to support and empower women disenfranchised by violence, UNIFEM Singapore, together with Club 21, will be conducting special training for women from local Family Service Centres to become merchandising assistants at the event. We hope that it will not only build a spirit of cooperation between the organisations but will also contribute towards the economic empowerment of these women through the development of a useful skill set in merchandising that we hope will come in useful in their search for future employment.
For more details, please visit our website at www.unifem-givetosave.com. Alternatively, do drop on by with your gently used designer wear at the Club 21 outlet to find out more. Please feel free to forward this along to your friends and family! "
