Triangle area: Girls on the Run Shop for a Cause event

If you are in the Triangle area, I hope you'll come out for the "Girls Night In Shop for a Cause" event at Nordstrom, benefiting Girls on the Run.

Girls on the Run enacts a mission of educating and "preparing girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living" through groups that combine running and self-esteem education.

Last year I was the invited speaker at this event at Nordstrom, and it was really fun. This year I plan to attend as a guest, and I'll get to shop and sample the goodies this time.

The invited speaker this year is Pam Saulsby, WRAL Anchorwoman and Singer. Pam will speak and sing to the topic, "Finding the Joy in Yourself!"

The event will take place Sunday night, March 1, at the Nordstrom at the Streets at Southpoint in Durham. The party runs from 7:30 to 10:00 pm and the store is only open to this private event.

Tickets are $30, available online from Girls on the Run through February 25. You must buy ticket in advance; no tickets are sold at the door.

Nordstrom puts on a really nice party for this private shopping event to benefit this worthy cause. Get your girfriends together and come on out!
