June 2023
We had such a great time at our recent #HappinessHour! We were thrilled to gather with our caring community to hear from Janet Collinsworth, Founder and Executive Director of Agape Resource & Assistance Center, Inc. on the work they're doing to provide safe, stable housing and support services for women and children in #NorthTexas, helping them break cycles of abuse, poverty and homelessness. Proceeds from the event will help fund facility renovations to provide much-needed services to more women and children.
A BIG thank you to the fabulous Amy Levenson Krumholz who shared the latest trends, styling tips, and closet management secrets. You are an inspiration, and needless to say, we're all big fans!
