community and civic groups and other organizations in your area. Collect pop tabs to drop
off at one of these areas, or contact your local House about getting a collection container
that you can be responsible for filling through one of your own groups.

 

Spring Forward

We thought we left chokers behind along with the 1990s, but it appears they are making a comeback in the upcoming spring season! Will you don a choker necklace sometime in the near future?

This in for spring — tiny bags that are just big enough to carry your phone, cards and keys. Strap on one of these little wonders for a dainty look during girls’ night out. Mini bags are a great way to keep your purse on you all night without it being cumbersome. Plus, aren’t they cute?
These belts are purely for aesthetics. They are the perfect addition to cinch around any dress, jacket or shirt this spring. Look for chunky belts with a powerful stage presence – with big buckles, soft leather or positively medieval metals.
