Girls Inc. girls at the 2009 White House Easter Egg Roll

New possibilities - Enjoy the Journey!

Welcome to the first blog post for The Evolution Exchange!

The last few months have been very exciting and inspiring as we’ve been working hard to develop The Evolution Exchange, a unique networking event designed to create an opportunity for people to foster connections and engage in a mutual exchange of information, ideas and resources while raising funds and awareness for a charitable organization. The Evolution Exchange’s first event, An Afternoon at The Pearl Spa, will bring together area women to benefit Girls Inc. of the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area, an affiliate of the national non-profit youth organization, Girls Inc. This phenomenal organization provides several critical programs that help girls in our community to: develop confidence, broaden their visions, become leaders, expand skills, unlock talent and prepare for a successful future!

Being of service to others is something that President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have strongly emphasized in this Administration not just with words, but with action. It’s important to realize that even in challenging economic times; there are many ways that we can all be of service to others ranging from the smallest to grandest gestures. Every day, we’re all presented with opportunities to help someone else in a variety of ways. We never know what new possibilities can emerge or the positive impact that can result unless we keep an open mind and enjoy the journey. The Evolution Exchange was created with the same spirit.

In planning The Evolution Exchange’s first event to benefit Girls Inc. of the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area, we are grateful thus far for the generosity and support from family, friends, business contacts and perfect strangers to help make it a huge success. The wheel of possibilities and support continues to expand and evolve.

We encourage you to visit The Evolution Exchange blog for frequent updates about our first event along with posts containing interesting tips, stories and resources to inspire and help business owners and professionals. You can also follow The Evolution Exchange on Facebook.
