This is exciting! Five of our women are joining together for a holiday market. We have a potter, photographer, mosaic tile artist, soap and lip balm creator and a massage therapist. You can do some early holiday shopping, drink some wine, get a chair massage, visit with your friends, and support local women artists– all at one event! This is a drop in event, so no attendance limit. Everyone who wants to attend is welcome.
What we’re about
I started this group to bring together women in their 50’s who want to gather with other like-minded women. We’re dealing with a lot of issues at our age, and having other women who can understand us, support us, and laugh with us is so valuable! This group is open to any woman in her 50’s: married, single, gay, straight, black, white or any other color. We will gather, eat, drink, laugh and commiserate when necessary. I am hopeful many of us will make meaningful friendships along the way.
In addition to beautiful, locally-made crafts, an assortment of homemade baked goods and other handmade items will be offered at the BPO DOES Holiday Craft Show and Bake Sale – just in time for the holidays! And don’t forget to pick up your tickets for our Saturday afternoon raffles! Proceeds to benefit the DOES charities, including our Blue Ridge Community College Scholarship Fund.
