Board Match Made for Ten Thousand Villages

Melanie has a fair trade rug from Ten Thousand Villages; she didn't know you could love a rug this much....

I loveĀ Ten Thousand Villages‘ fair trade store on South Lake Avenue. I have a beautiful Pakistani rug among other lovely items from the store. So I was very excited when Holly Hight, who attended our March session of The Leadership Connection, joined their board after going through the class. This was the first TLC graduate to be placed this year! Although I love being a match-maker between great people and great nonprofits, my burning question is: do I somehow get a permanent discount at the store??

Thank you, Holly, for joining a board, and thank you Ten Thousand Villages for bringing fair trade items to Pasadena (and my beloved rug to my living room).
