Please help us say a BIG thank you to the following people by leaving a comment in this thread!

They will be organizing the Chicago Event Clothing Exchange! These busy ladies will be receiving & sorting clothing, as well as hosting the exchange table at the event.  A huge amount of hard work goes into making this a smooth operation.

A big big THANK YOU to all you volunteers! It is definitely hard work to pull one of these off and at this magnitude I am sure we cannot give you near the credit you will deserve! But we sure are thankful to you!

That was really nice of you to say, and very true!  These volunteers are the heart of our OH events, and we are very grateful to them.

I have lots of new friends, and I haven't even met them yet! I'm really looking forward to the Chicago event.

Sincerely,
Kim

Thank you for volunteering.  It is very nice of you to dedicate your time to such an event.  You all are very special people and deserve a huge high five.  I could not imagine just how much hard work you will be putting into this exchange and hope that it runs smoothly.  I look forward to meeting you and exchanging some clothing myself. 

You are truly appreciated and thank you so much for your time.

The beauty of a woman is not seen through what she wears. It is seen through how she carries herself and the way she doesn’t allow herself to settle. Don’t ever let anyone take for granted the beauty that is within you. Stand firm and know that you’re a wonderful person. Always remember your value and respect yourself. I’m so blessed to have you in my life.  Sometimes we all need to be reminded how special we really are!

Hi Dawn

I am planning on attending - coming from Nova Scotia Canada- this will be my first OH Event.

I had an email and someone asked me if there is a spot to try on clothes at the exchange room I said I would ask so I guess you gals would be the ones in the know.

Thanks - cant wait to meet everyone.

I will be celebrating my one year surgiversary on June 10th and this is my celebration gift to myself.

Hi Deb!

It is SO cool that you will be coming to this event from so far away.  Congratulations on the great job that you are doing and you should have a great time celebrating your first surgiversary in Chicago with us!

Hopefully, Kim will jump in here with the definitive answer, but I would certainly think that there would at least be a restroom to try on clothes close by the exchange table.  This is my first time volunteering, and my liturature does not address this question, but I'm sure Kim will know!

I really look forward to meeting you!

 

Tell someone that you love them!

I know I am looking forward to this whole event and helping with the clothing exchange!  It will be so much fun to meet everyone that comes to exchange and see the looks on their faces when they come to get their goodies.  I am working with a group of the best ladies around, we will have a ball!  Looking forward to it!

Hi there...all of this great, positive talk is really giving me good vibes about this event.  I see that a lot of you have joined the Chicago event group on OH, and I'll be posting important messages there from time to time, so keep your eyes open for those updates!

Sincerely,
