SPA-tacular Full Moon Howl for the Salvation Army Emergency Shelter (Buffalo, NY)

SPA-tacular Full Moon Howl

April 28, 2010

A gathering of Yowza Elves in the Spirit of Giving and Gratitude

to support the

Salvation Army Emergency Shelter in Buffalo, NY

Oh, my!!!  The entire evening was, indeed, “SPA-TACULAR”--due to the generosity and kindness and beauty of the women who came to “howl out loud” through their giving of spa items to the Salvation Army  Emergency Shelter http://www.use.salvationarmy.org/use/www_use_buffalo.nsf/vw-text-dynamic-arrays/AFD2F02C04D2D23E85257488006B3D87?openDocument. 

      You know, I was going to write in detail about the entire event, but the saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words” truly speaks more loudly and more clearly to the success of the gathering than any lengthy blog I could attempt.  Suffice it to say – the collective spirit and heart and energy and love of the women who gave of their time and donations was overwhelming.

46 WOMEN:

               That’s right—46 fantastic women from the Buffalo-Kenmore-Tonawanda, NY were responsible for the evening’s success…

877 DONATED SPA ITEMS:

               Yowza! Yowza! Yowza!  Before it was all said and done,  877+ spa items were donated to support the women who might find
               themselves residing at the Salvation Army Emergency Shelter in downtown Buffalo, NY.  877 items!  That’s right…46 women…
               877+ donated spa items.  Oh, me; Oh, my!   Life IS good!

And so, rather than writing and writing and writing…here is the story of the magical evening through photographs.

Yowza Elf Giving

Yowza Elves:

So I’ll leave you with a thought:  

What if…

what if more Yowza Elves begin to gather in the spirit of gratitude and giving?  What if these Yowza Elves gather, then more elves gather, and at each gathering they encourage others to 

“Catch the YowzaSpirit and Pass it On”….  

What if…

Phew!  The evening came and went…and the Goodies are now boxed for delivery to the shelter.
