Tay Academy Needs Gently Used Business Attire

IFMA San Diego's Community Service Committee is collecting business attire for SDYS's TAY Academy for the young people going on interviews.

 

Clean out your closet ... Gentlemen, that suit or sports coat you haven't worn in 5 years, and Ladies, the dress that you no longer like will help a young person "dress for success" at their next interview. Dress shoes, belts, purses and appropriate jewelry can also be used. All sizes are needed.

 

How can you help? Give us your clean, gently used office attire!

 

We will be collecting these items at upcoming February and March Luncheons.  Watch for upcoming details in future newsletters.
