Press Release, GOLDEN, Colo. (February, 2009)
– Certified professional organizer Sally Allen, founder of Golden, Colo.- based A Place For Everything® LLC, recently donned walking shoes to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.
While attending the National Assoc. of Senior Move Managers’ annual conference in New Orleans, Allen participated in its fundraiser, The Walk to Move Forward, which toured the French quarter.
The event benefited the Gulf States Association of Homes and Services for the Aging. More than 90 percent of the association’s member communities were damaged by the 2005 hurricane that claimed over 1,800 lives and caused over $81 billion in damages. NASMM was able to present a check for $7,500 to the Gulf States.
Mile High Girl Scouts
On November 18, 2006, the Girl Scouts - Mile Hi Council had a Suite Retreat at the Doubletree Hotel to provide interactive "funshops" to teach girls how to tame the stressors in their lives. Girl Scouts have found pressure from peers, parents and school is common among teens. The interactive workshops included mind-easing crafts, money management, time management and more. Sally Allen gave four one-hour "funshops" filled with time management techniques and a hands-on segment where the scouts used their skills to create a work-friendly stationary desk and a work-friendly portable desk. "Fun" was had by all.
