WANT TO HELP CHILDREN WITH HEARING LOSS???

Don't forget, through tomorrow, for any purchases made through me for my skin care business, I will be donating 10% to Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech

Rodan + Fields Independent Consultant Michele Blend

May is Better Hearing and Speech Month and I don't know a better way to celebrate this than to BLEND the two parts of my life and use my Rodan and Fields skin care business to help raise money and make a donation to an organization near and dear to my heart, Clarke Schools for Hearing and Speech!

Back in 2000, almost 18 years ago, I spent some time working at Clarke NYC. It was there that I met so many amazing co-workers (Amy Handler, Del Gaudio Ge**er, Dan Salvucci, Anne Carney Florsheim, Cara Jordan) and worked with families of children with hearing loss Christina Sanborn Danese, Hayley Hirsch Foster, Eileen Riano, Sue Schmidberger). It was through Clarke that I attended a leadership training course, where I met leaders in the field of deaf education from around the country. I am forever grateful for this experience.

So, in honor of Better Hearing and Speech Month, I will donate 10% of all product (or business kit) purchases made between today, May 10, and Sunday, May 13 to the Clarke Schools.

If you are interested in feeling confident in your skin, message me and I can take you through a quick 5 minute virtual skin consultation to find out what is best for you, as well as to help you to get longer, fuller, darker looking lashes. Then, I can help you to place an order and we, together, can give back to Clarke Schools!

In 1998, when I started my job at the Cochlear Implant Center at Lenox Hill Hospital, I began a relationship with The Children's Hearing Institute, Dr. Simon Parisier and Melissa Willis. Since that time, this organization has meant so much to me.

So, in honor or Better Hearing and Speech Month, I will donate 10% of all purchases made between May 10 and May 12 (including business kits) to the Children's Hearing Institute.
