February Greetings!

 
Join us March 11th at Bonefish Grill for the WBOM Membership Luncheon


On March 11^th our luncheon will be all about networking, as we attempt to obtain new members as well as retain our current ones. At each table there will be a host who will guide us through questions that are guaranteed to spark up valuable information about one another. Any member that brings a guest will be eligible for a drawing for a seat at the the WBOM table for Fashioning Our Lives (November 7 at 11:30 AM). Any guest/non-member attending will be eligible for a voucher for a free WBOM luncheon of their choice.

"I’ve been in the beauty business for 32 years," she says. "I’ve been doing permanent makeup for 14 years. Permanent makeup is a form of cosmetic tattooing. It’s wonderful for people who have health problems. Maybe they don’t have eyebrows or they can’t see to do their makeup."

"Some of my people have been declared legally blind. They get up and there it is. It always looks the same. They don’t have to worry about applying makeup. Some people do it for beauty. Some people do it for health reasons. They like the look. They feel good about it. It makes them feel good when they look in that mirror."
