July GPH a Success!

We held our 9th Girl Power Hour Event on Thursday, July 17th at the Shilshole Bay Beach Club from 6pm-9pm. I'm a little late in posting, but come on....it's Summer. And I need a break.

Speaking of Summer, it was hot that night and frankly I was worried that people would blow us off to drink margaritas in the sun somewhere after work. Then I realized that they could drink margaritas (for free, courtesy of Sauza) at GPH in the sun after work. Duh! Of course they were going to show up. It wasn't our usual 150-200 women, but it was a solid turn out of about 120. We were happy with that and from the looks of it, everyone was pleased with the free margaritas...

The event itself was focused on Traveling Safe, Savvy and Stylish. Local organic clothing designer Sara Suemae of SPUN and Candice Caldwell of FashionEthic.com were on site to show us how to pack a weeks worth of style into a carry on....because let's face it....who wants to pay the $100 surcharge to check a bag anymore?

Also on hand was Author and former CIA Spy Lindsay Moran to read a few excerpts from her book, "Blowing My Cover - My Life as a CIA Spy" and to tell us how to be safe when traveling alone as women. She brought books for our swag bags and signed copies for anyone interested.

We ended the night with a few announcements that included the cancellation of our August Rooftop Party and the confirmation of our 1 Year Anniversary Party happening on September 18th at the Pan Pacific Hotel. Stay tuned for more info on that shortly.....

PS: I never knew CIA Spy was a career option??

**Sadly, I don't have pictures for this event...YET...I think our photographer Laura Totten is on vacation, but that has been neither confirmed nor denied. Hot foot it Totten! ;) However, if you are bored, you can check out pictures from our Red event on her site if you CLICK HERE.
