DG's In Business {Flight Boutique}

Welcome to the new DG's in Business section of the blog. Each month we willl highlight Delta Gamma Alumnae and their businesses, in hopes to raise awareness of what our amazing sisters are doing, and to give us all an opportunity to support one another. If you are interested in having your company highlighted please send an email to sloane.maccabe@gmail.com and include information about yourself, your company, your companies logo, and any other information you would like to have included.

For our very first DG's in Business post, I am thrilled to be able to write about my dear friend and pledge sister Blaire Hayes, and her amazing business, Flight Boutique. Blaire was born and raised in Park City, Utah and attended Park City High. She initiated into Delta Gamma in 2001 at the University of Utah and was an active four year member. After graduating with a degree in Business, she headed to New York City where she worked as a fashion stylist for celebrites as well as magazines such as Vogue and W. In 2008, she moved back to Park City and began working on her life long dream of owning her own boutique with dear friend and fellow Park City native, Kristen Moss. Their dreams became a reality when their doors opened in November of 2009. "We decided to come back and open a store in Park City, first, because we love our hometown and have a lot of support here, and second because we felt there was a void that needed to be filled" says Hayes.

The racks at Flight are filled with a variety of beautiful styles from an array of designers including Elizabeth & James, LaRok and Cynthia Vincent on the first floor, and more moderately-priced items from designers like BB Dakota and Jack on the second floor. Upstairs has sale items and dressing rooms and everything is under $100, with most items priced around $35. Another awesome feature at their store is the beautiful graphic wall paper of white and black trees that was imported from Europe. It serves as a great backdrop to these stylish clothes. Next time you are in Park City, make sure to stop by and shop a bit at Flight Boutique. But know that they are always getting new clothes in so you won't see the same stuff each time, so stop by often. If you mention that you are a Delta Gamma in the month of March, you will receive a 15% discount!

Founders Day Date Change!

We have changed the date of Founders Day to April 2nd and will be held at the Delta Gamma house this year! The program will begin at 7 pm and we'll be opening up the house to any invited lady, member or no at 7:30 pm for a mocktail party celebrating Delta Gamma and our history. You are able to bring women family members, future potential new members and even curious friends! We'll be doing house tours, telling history, and doing all kinds of fun and exciting things. AND, our alumni will get to see all the changes made to the house over the years. The theme is "Journey Through the Years" and is $25 per ticket. We will have giveaway bags with items from DG's that have their own businesses, and we are doing a live auction for a few bigger items. Can't wait to see you all there!

Calling All DG Alum Business Owners!!!

Hi Ladies,
We know that there are many of you out there that own your own business, and we would like to give you the opportunity to let all your fellow alum know about it! There are two different opportunities that I want to tell you about:

1. We would like to start doing a monthly or bi-monthly spotlight an alum and their businesses. This is a great way for you to get the word out about your business, and for us to be able to be your customers! I am more likely to shop somewhere if I know that it benefits someone I know. So, if you are interested in being apart of this, please send me all of your company contact information, a brief bio of yourself, any pictures that you would like included, and a brief wrtie up about what your company is and the services or products it provides. Then we will post your information for at least 2 weeks on our blog and tout it on Facebook as well.

2. For Founder's Day, we are doing things a bit different this year, and it is going to be awesome!!! You will find out more about that in another email soon. But, for the event we are going to be giving out gift bags to all the ladies that attend...both alumnae and collegiates. We would like to include any giveaways that you or your company might be willing to include in these bags. Or you can provide coupons to be included in the bags as well. Either would be great .Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in and what you would like to provide for the gift bags. We are excited to get this started, and to learn all about what you wonderful ladies are doing! We would like to get this going next month if possible, so please send me your information soon.

Thank you so much
ITB,

Recruitment help....

Hi Ladies,

The collegiates will be holding their recruitment prep workshops August 18th-20th. They are in need of some volunteers to provide them lunch on Wednesday the 18th at 1:00 p.m. for about 60 ladies. Please let me know if you would be interested and available and I will get the address for you. Also, you will be reiumbursed for the cost of the lunch provided.

On Friday the 20th they will be conducting a mock recruitment at the DG house and would like our help. We will act as the potential new members so that they can practice their singing and conversations. They will need help from 5 - 8pm that evening. Once we are done helping them practice they have invited us to participate in a sisterhood activity. They are asking for at least 20 alum to come and help them, so please let me know if are able to help. It should be a lot of fun and a great way for us to help these ladies make this a great recruitment!

Please help sponsor a child

My name is Brittany Glenn and I have spent the last couple of months volunteering in Tanzania. Since being here a couple of volunteers and I noticed the huge problem Tanzania has with street children. On assessing the problem, we worked hard and found a house for the kids and have been providing them with food, shelter, clothing and schooling. We hope to provide even more in the future as this program grows. Please read the below information and let me know if you are interested in donating, sponsoring a child or even coming to Tanzania and volunteering. Anything will help and be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

People around the world have shown great interest in the issue of street children in Tanzania. It is possible to use this support to provide these children with shelter, food, education, vocational training and an overall change of lifestyle. By addressing the issue of street children in Tanzania now, we can help these children to work towards a brighter future. Journey Nyumbani Street Children’s Centre was created to bring these changes to the community of Moshi, Tanzania.We are currently housing 14 children between the ages of 12 and 18 in our centre located in Shantytown, Kilimanjaro. The children were found in Moshi and its surrounding villages and have been living on the streets for up to 7 years. Some of these children may have an abusive family history, but most often the cause for homelessness is lack of means for financial support. Our short-term goals include mainly keeping the children safe and providing them with their basic needs.The long-term goals of Journey Nyumbani are to provide the chidlren with a proper education. We are currently providing home-schooling in the form of preparatory courses for their desired schools in January 2010. In addition, Journey Nyumbani hopes to involve the children in the appropriate vocational training to encourage an eventual self-sustaining financial situation. Art and music lessons are also provided to allow for a creative outlet as well as a potential source of income. Journey Nyumbani is a newly developed organization in need of financial help from abroad. If you are interested in making a contribution, it would be greatly appreciated.

It costs $20/month to feed one child. It costs $10/month to provide housing for one child. Would anyone like to be a sponsor?? The school term in Tanzania begins in January. We are trying to raise $100 for each child by the end of December 2009. Please let us know if you are interested in making a donation!
Please let me know if you have any questions bglenn85@gmail.com

Thank you so much.

Sincerely,
Brittany N Glenn

Please spread the word to anyone you know!
