2013 Year End Update

Thank you for being a friend and supporter. Together, we bring much needed awareness to the beauty of women in service and their challenging reintegration to civilian life.  

Highlights of 2013:

* Locating a six-story building that will be the new home of The Shining Beacon House, a New York City residence for homeless women veterans and their children.  We have gone to contract on this property.

* Producing six Shining Makeovers with such wonderful establishments as Bloomingdale's, John Barrett Salon at Bergdorf Goodman, Julien Farel, L'Appartement Hair Boudoir, Riccardo Maggiore, and Cactus Salons and Spas.

* Starting new relationships with generous sponsors: Anne Klein, Bloomingdale's 59th Street, Bobbi Brown, TGI Fridays, Toshiba Business Solutions, and Godiva Chocolates.

* Formation of a wonderful Advisory Board which is ready and able to take Shining Service to the next level of service.

* Opening the doors of The Shining Beacon House.

* Producing a festive Super Bowl Celebration at Toshiba Business Solutions' beautiful space high above Times Square.

* Scheduling six more inspiring Shining Service Makeovers.

* Developing new events catering to the men who support our military gals.

* Collaborating on new partnerships targeting continued growth in 2014. Conversations underway with SUS (Services for the Underserved), Operation Warrior Wellness - David Lynch Foundation, The National Air Force Salute, and JP Morgan Chase - Military and Veteran Affairs.
