Keeping doors open for women on the path to success

Medford, OR (March 2009) - Cynthia Naumes of RE/MAX Realty Group hopes to carry forward a maternal legacy of helping struggling women dress for success.

It was her mother, Bobbi Naumes, who came up with the idea for “My Sister’s Closet”- a clothing cooperative designed to provide professional attire to women entering the work force, said Cynthia Naumes. The function of the fledging nonprofit is to provide gently used clothing to women who have either graduated from college or are re-entering the work force. Women are able to pick up two business outfits which are appropriate for job interviews or work attire.
 

Raised in this passionate and dedicated family, Cynthia continues to build on a strong legacy of community involvement through her own volunteerism. Cynthia is in the beginning stages of creating a nonprofit – she’s collecting clothing of all sizes, and is still searching for a permanent home for My Sister’s Closet.

”We are looking for gently used business attire, shoes and accessories of all sizes,” she said.

Donated clothing can be dropped off at La Douce Vie Day Spa and Salon at 623 Central Ave. Clothing that needs to be dry cleaned prior to drop-off may be taken to Martinizing Dry Cleaning in the Blue Sky Plaza, Naumes said.

My Sister’s Closet is also having a logo contest – the logo that best depicts the spirit and style of the endeavor will be determined on May 20. The winner with the most creative and original design will receive a $50 gift certificate at La Douce Vie.

Those interested in attending a meeting, being a board member, volunteering, donating clothing or submitting a logo design, contact Naumes at 514-944-0900.
