Virginia Oaks Holiday Open House

On Saturday, November 3rd, a group of fifteen local vendors hosted a "Holiday Open House" that was sponsored by the Virginia Oaks Clubhouse. Even if you missed the event, many of the consultants work with clients on line. All of the businesses had a wealth of gift ideas for a range of occasions from personal, to home decorating and utilitarian to holiday gift giving.All of the vendors love their products and most of them became consultants through their own personal experience with the quality products they sell. The list of local businesses included the following:

The event was organized almost entirely through emails by Teresa DeWolf of Creative Memories. Teresa emailed vendors that she worked with last year and asked them if they were interested in organizing an event again and to pass on any small businesses that may also want to participate. The businesses then had two meetings at local shops in September and October. Everything was then finalized via email. Teresa did not meet some of the vendors until the day of the event, since they communicated mostly thru email.
