Good morning! I am honored to welcome you to the 14th annual New Albany Women’s Network Annual Charity Fashion Show “Fall Into Winter” benefiting Rachel’s House.

NAWN will contribute 100% of the proceeds of our 2013 Annual Charity Fashion Show to Rachel’s House, a program of Lower Lights Ministries, to help female ex-offenders re-enter society after their incarceration. Rachel’s House offers comprehensive programming through a team of mentors that includes essential life skills, such as: employment, relationships, community, citizenship, education, finances, recovery, health, and safety. All funds donated by NAWN through the Annual Charity Fashion Show will be used to support staffing and maintenance needs of the program.

THIS YEAR’S
BENEFICIARY Rachel’s House Of Lower Lights Ministries Rachel’s House, an award-winning, nationally recognized reentry program, provides holistic support for women returning to society from prison. Rachel’s House restores dignity to underserved women, empowering them to care for their families, resist addiction and impact the community for good. Instead of the hopelessness generated by cycles of poverty and unemployment, a Rachel’s House graduate leaves the program with the tools to rebuild her life. Rachel’s House understands the complexity of overcoming the barriers linked to a woman’s incarceration and, therefore, addresses the whole woman, providing the resources and hope necessary to reenter society. This is accomplished by acknowledging their need for stable housing, committed community and professional services. This holistic model includes life coaching, mentoring and peer support across 8 domains, so each Rachel’s House woman has 9-12 volunteers serving her until she graduates. Rachel’s House not only empowers a woman to resist addictions and care for her own family, but also gives her the framework for leadership. Many Rachel’s House graduates become leaders in the wider workforce, often times within Franklinton and even Rachel’s House, itself. Essentially, Rachel’s House restores a woman to her potential and invigorates the community with her presence.

WHO WE ARE AS
A N O R G A N I Z AT I O N The New Albany Women’s Network (NAWN) was established in 1998 in an effort to bring women together throughout New Albany. The founding members created the network to share information and resources, build friendships, and help create a strong, interconnected community. Since its inception, NAWN has grown from a founding group of seven members to over 280 women, working together toward a similar goal: Creating a Strong Community. NAWN is proud to be in its fourteenth year as an organization and hosting its 14th Annual Charity Fashion Show. The initial concept of the Annual Charity Fashion Show has changed since its creation in 1999, moving from a Preview Luncheon for the annual Rummage Sale, to one featuring the latest fashions from local boutiques. Overall, the Annual Charity Fashion Show has raised over $134,000 in support of our past beneficiaries: Lives of Discovery Lecture Series, The Hope Fund of Hope’s Boutique, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Franklin County, Huckleberry House, Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation (CABF), The Neighborhood Nest of Columbus, Directions for Youth and Families, Amethyst, Inc., and the YWCA Family Center. This year we are honored to support Rachel’s House, a program of Lower Lights Ministries. Thank you for joining us today as we celebrate NAWN’s goal of Creating a Strong Community.
Raffle Beginning at 11:00am, NAWN members will be selling raffle tickets for a number of fabulous prizes. Tickets are $5 or 5 for $20. Winners of the raffle items will be drawn immediately following the close of our silent auction right before the event’s conclusion. All winners must be present to win.
Silent Auction Policies and Procedures • You must be at least 21 years of age to participate in bidding.
• The bidding for all silent auction items will begin at 11:00 a.m. and end at 1:50 p.m. In fairness to those seated throughout the Modeling/Fashion Show, silent auction bidding will be suspended during the show. • Silent auction bid sheets are attached to or displayed near the item with corresponding item identification. • To enter a bid, each bidder is to print his/her assigned number and bid amount on the bid sheet.
