The Gorgeous Gems

A wonderful loving young lady named Nataly Arais mentioned that fact, she is so grateful to all the volunteers that make the Crown Jewel Club possible. She said that she wanted, as well as other graduates of the CJC, to give back. Along with Elizabeth Rodrigues, Nataly  started a CJC youth program called the “Goreous Gems”. On Mother’s Day 2009, Nataly, Elizabeth and Jakey took long stem roses to a group of elderly mothers who loved their sweetness so freely given  from these young beautiful  called the “Gorgeous Gems”.

The Marie Shriver’s California’s Govenors Women’s Conference

On October 26 & 26 the Crown Jewel Club had the oppurtunity to have a booth at the Women’s Conference. What an incredible opportunity. It was so empowering knowing that so many women, gathered at the Women’s Conference. It is the nation’s premier forum for women and is hosted by California First Lady Maria Shriver and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Conference, also known as The California Governor and First Lady’s Conference on Women, has grown from a California initiative for working professionals into an international network of women from all walks of life, backgrounds and perspectives, and a life-changing experience for the thousands of women who have attended. The mission of The Women’s Conference is to inspire, empower and educate women to be Architects of Change in their own lives and in the lives of others. This year the Conference expanded to two full days of speakers, sessions and events.

We had a total of 48 volunteers to make the Crown Jewel Club booth possible. We look forward to following up with the outstand women we had the oppurtunity to meet!

The 2010 Pearls Graduated with an Afternoon Tea

On November 12, 2009 our 320th girl graduated from the Crown Jewel Club. The group of young ladies were simply a delight. A beautiful young lady named Tyrisha baked a cake for Mrs. Phillips, the delighted teacher. A group from Pearls bought each of the 8 voluteers candles. Love was abundant. A very bright “Gem” named Ester, was elected president. Her 1st job is to hand out rubber band ball donated my Julie Carlson from OfficeMax. I know she will do a great job. She was so happy to be president of the ‘10 Pearls and was shining as much as her tiarra.

We were also delighted with 6 sponsore. The teacher and the voluteers love when we have guest. It is so much fun and rewarding to feel the joy the sponsors feel when atttending an Afternoon Tea.

I received a comment from one of the guest saying that the girls had better manner then she felt she had.

With every class that goes through the Crown Jewel Club classes our heart and soul is filled with confidents that these young ladies heart and mind has been moved and they will aspire to great things. WE BELIEVE THIS!!

An Afternoon of Tea & Commendations

On March 31^st the Crown Jewel Club held yet another fantastic Afternoon Tea for our 2009 Rubies, with a packed house of sponsors and supporters.  The Tea kicked off with the awarding of a Certificate of Commendation from Councilwoman Jan Perry and the other Councilmen and women of Los Angeles.

It was a great honor to be recognized with this award as it helps further distinguish our organization as one with a real commitment to helping the community reach their highest potential.  Having the support of our community along with their endless charity, has truly been such a blessing for the Crown Jewel Club; no words could suffice our gratitude.

There are so many wonderful people among our Board Members, volunteers, and donors that have contributed to the growth of this organization; I accept the award on behalf of all of us.  The Crown Jewel Club makes it their goal to provide a positive environment that fosters improved self-esteem and self-respect, as well as the value of education, family and friendships.  It gives us great pride to know that our goal, and the dedication towards achieving that goal, is being acknowledged and rewarded by the leaders of this community.

Things are really starting to sparkle!

Just because I haven’t made an entry on this blog for a year, doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten about it or that I don’t want to communicate through it.  It’s just that I’ve been so busy with helping my girls and getting organized, that it has taken a back seat.  But not anymore…and here’s why.

 

Earlier this month I met with 10 wonderful people who have agreed to serve on the Board of Directors for the next year.  These individuals, who you’ll hear more about soon on the web site, are truly life savers for me and I can’t tell you how grateful I am for their help.  And with their help I hope to spread our reach to many more schools and many more girls.  I’ll keep you posted on our progress.

I want to thank….

I want to thank Ashley B. Lewis for setting up this blog. I’m so looking forward to the chance to share how grateful I am to so many people who have made the success of the Crown Jewel Club possible. I want to thank Marley Majcher from the The Party Goddess for even suggesting I have a blog. I have so many wonderful things to say about Marley Majcher, I will address her greatness tomorrow!
thanks
