Please remember to
bring your clothing donation for Working Wardrobes to our
breakfast meeting on Tuesday. Business attire such as slacks,
sport coats, dress shirts, neckties, and suits are needed. If
you do not have business attire that you can donate, please
bring a new 3/6 pack of men's dress socks and/or briefs with you
as these items cannot be recycled. Men's dress shoes are also
needed. Working Wardrobes outfit women for the workplace as
well, so women's business attire is also needed. Megan Klink
from Working Wardrobes will have her van in the Five Crowns
parking lot at 7:00 am for you to deposit your donation before
entering the restaurant.
The workshops will
begin on Saturday March 22nd at the
Salvation Army in Anaheim. This year, to avoid conflicting
with the resident's work schedules, the workshops will begin at
4:00 pm and end at 5:30 pm. We would like to have at least three
coaches to participate in each workshop. The topics of each
workshop are listed below. At this point in the sign-up process,
we really need people for the 1st workshop n March 22nd (Skills
Identification) and the 3rd workshop on April 5 (Master
Application). The Master Application workshop is a challenging
one so if you have experience in evaluating job applications,
this is great workshop for you. I will pass around the sign-up
list again on Tuesday.
The Success Day at
Working Wardrobes will be held on April 19th. Please mark
your calendars for that day. We will need volunteers to act as
"personal shoppers" for our clients as they choose their
"working" wardrobes. The personal shoppers will help fit the men
and help match their accessories.
Click here for some photos of last year's Success Day. The
event lasts for four hours. We would like every member of our
club to at come by, even if only for a few minutes, to meet our
clients. Acting as personal shoppers is a lot of fun. Hopefully
we will have several members interested in doing that as we did
last year.
Graduation will
follow the last workshop on May 2nd. All club members will be
invited and urged to attend as this is the culmination of our
efforts with this group of men. Again, please mark you calendar
now. When the graduates see a large gathering from our club at
the culminating event, they are sent a strong message that we
care about their future and what happens to them after our
workshops.
