Ladies, do you have perfectly good bridesmaid dresses that you will never wear again taking up room in your closet??  I know I do.  Even though we were told we would be able to “use them again” . . .  come on, really?    

The SC Bar Young Lawyers Division is collecting gently used formal gowns, cocktail dresses, shoes, handbags and the likes for a wonderful cause – The Cinderella Project.  The Chapin Chamber is also involved in this project and is asking for your help!   A Boutique is held prior to prom season, so girls in need can “shop” for all their prom needs in one place for FREE. They get to try on as many dresses, shoes, etc. as they like and put together just the right outfit for their big night.  You would be amazed at the tears of happiness that flow on this day. 

Soooo, let’s drag out those dresses and dust’em off for charity.  Plus, who doesn’t need a little more room in their closets?  I apologize for the short notice, but items need to be dropped off at the Chapin Chamber House by next Thursday.  Dresses should be in good condition and on hangers.  Shoes should be placed in shoe boxes or plastic grocery bags.  If you don't know where the Chapin Chamber House is or would rather drop off your donations to me personally, call me at 351-9771 and we can meet at the studio!!  

Please call or email me if you need more info.

Students from area high schools are invited to attend a boutique held in the spring to "shop" for a dress and other items at no cost.

Donations will be accepted at the Chapin Chamber House Monday - Friday, from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.  Dresses should be clean and on hangers.

The Boutique will be held on Saturday, March 7, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m., at the USC School of Law.

PARENT- Job Description

This is hysterical. If it had been presented this way, I don't believe any of us would have done it!!!!

POSITION :
Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma
Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop

JOB DESCRIPTION :

Long term, team players needed, for challenging, permanent work in an
often chaotic environment.
Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities!
Travel expenses not reimbursed.
Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES :

The rest of your life.
Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5.
Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly.
Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.
Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers.
Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects.
Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks.
Must be willing to be indispensable one minute, and embarrassment the next.
Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices.
Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product.
Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION :

None.
Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE :

None required unfortunately.
On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION :

Get this!   You pay them!
Offering frequent raises and bonuses.
A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent.
When you die, you give them whatever is left.
The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more..

BENEFITS :

While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth, unconditional love, and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right.

Sweet Bebe...

Wait until you see the rest of them Mandi!!!!
