Little Black Dress Club Feb. Update

Thank you to everyone who attended the very first Little Black Dress Club house party! Member Kristin Matthews was kind enough to open her house for the event, and it was a great time!

Our second house party will be in May at Lisa Bosworth's, followed by another in July at Jennifer Neill's. Once dates are pinned down we will let everyone know. If you're interested in hosting a house party, we would love to hear from you at littleblackdressclubboise@gmail.com or through the club's Facebook page.

Also, if you're interested in helping on the membership or volunteer committees, please let us know.

Our grant deadline was Friday, Feb. 13. At the time of the house party, we had seven applications and anticipated a few more before the close of business on deadline day. The grants committee will review applications and choose the top three to five to send out to general membership for voting. We anticipate awarding two five-thousand dollar grants and one three-thousand dollar grant, for a total of $13,000. That's an amazing amount for a first-year organization, and we should all be very proud of what we've accomplished and how many people we're going to help!

A couple more key dates to keep in mind:

The Little Black Dress Ball is coming up on Saturday, April 4. This is our one-year anniversary gala and celebration of grantees. There will be food, music and lots of fun. This is a "plus one" event and spouses and friends are welcome. Tickets will be $25.00 and we will have more information on how to purchase, as well as more specifics on event time and location, in the near future.

And finally, April is the time to renew your Little Black Dress Club membership. And if you have friends who have expressed interest in the club, April is the time for them to join! We are trying to get everyone on the same renewal date for bookkeeping purposes. If you're already on a payment plan with the ICF, you will automatically renew unless you tell them otherwise. If the card they have on file for your membership payment is going to expire, please give them a call with an alternate payment method.

Thank you for being part of Little Black Dress Club. Together we have done amazing things in our first year, and next year promises to be just as fun and filled with friends and philanthropy!
