At Eklectika, a boutique of arts and crafts from local artists and craft persons, Carrier purchased an elegant glass pen and then proceeded to donate it to a silent auction to be held as a fund raising event for My Friend's House. During the week celebrating International Women's Day, Eklectika shop owners will donate $5.00 from every purchase of a line of beautiful glass desk top items to the local shelter."As a past board member at the House and supporter of women's issues, I am surprised that International Women's Day and the week celebrating women's achievements are not more visible". Today was a real bonus... I got to support a local, female new business owner, a day of international recognition of women and a local charity that provides much needed services to women and their children of our community. Couldn't be better!"
