Hi Kelly and Mary:
The bench now sits in its place of honor which is in my office until we build that park or we find an even better place to showcase it!! Everyone who comes in comments on it and wants to touch it.
Mary, what a wonderful friend you are to The Rose. Your gifts continue to amaze me—the bench, the generous donation and now that gorgeous Prada purse! Wow! I just wanted you to know it is perfect for the upcoming Couture for a Cause fashion event being sponsored by AROD Mercedes Benz this coming Saturday night. Everyone is so excited about having such an impressive item to add to this very exclusive and high-end auction. The Couture for a Cause features the newest collections from Saks Fifth Avenue, modeled by Page Parkes Talent Agency. I am betting it will be a top dollar winner at our event. (I may be the one doing the bidding!)
I appreciate you both so much. Thank you for caring about The Rose and the women we serve.
Dorothy Gibbons, CEO & Co-Founder
