We had a fabulous, whirlwind, fun and fruitful two week trip to New York filled with visits with family and friends, business trips for Dave and me and an incredible fundraising class. Our Nia session with Debbie Rosas was such a beautiful event. I was blown away by the support and love that came from the Nia community in the tri – state area, especially Caroline Kohles, Kevin ver Ecke and Joanne Edgar of Nia NY. All of the organization and adminstrative tasks were handled so graciously and efficiently by them which was a huge surprise and support to me. I love that I have been living on the west coast for almost two years now and my connections in NY are stronger than ever. This bi coastal life is really working for me. Debbie and Carlos, co founders of Nia, generously donated a White Belt Intensive for the raffle and Lena Gabrielsen was the lucky winner. (she did purchase the largest number of raffle tickets – FIFTEEN!
Nia Headquarters advertised the raffle to all of their teachers so people bought tickets online from South Carolina, Texas………………all over the US. The raffle also started some really good conversations with people across the US who are teaching Nia to children or are working with various populations of children. The majority of the proceeds of this class are going to the Nia for Children Fund that we have set up at Flawless. Much of our planning, energy and resources are focused on this project right now and we have some very exciting plans to launch Nia programs in September.
Thank you again for all of your love, support and interest.
Janine Francolini, Flawless Founder
