    Wouldn't you love to share your love of beading, your knowledge of tools, gemstones, or your jewelry professional experience with a group of girls for a few hours on Saturday, March 16? We will need you to help the girls finish their pieces. Bring crimping tools and a sense of humor. An early bird activity will include assisting the girls make blue beaded bracelets for The Global Genes Project. In addition, we wwill work with the older girls to create prom necklaces for Prom Dress Programs and Diva Central.  Refreshments will be provided.
