Greetings!

As you may know, Red Rover Style.com is hosting its first event called "Give-A-Gift Party" on Tuesday, June 8, 2010 in NYC to support Girls Educational and Mentoring Services (GEMS) “Girls are Not for Sale!” campaign!

As one of the founders of RedRoverStyle.com, my heart is tied closely with this organization’s mission as they help young women re-build their lives after they had been harmed and sexually exploited. My hope is that you will be able to join us on June 08, and take a moment to celebrate the survivor stories of Gems Girls. What is so special about this event is we aren’t asking our guests for money, but we are encouraging guests to bring care package items that will help fill up the Gems’ pantry closet. A direct need will be met.

Whether you can or cannot attend, and my hope is, you can:), I wondered if you would be willing to forward the event information to your friends, press, or social bloggers who can help us spread the word in NYC.

Please contact me at info@redroverstyle.com for an offiical press release. Here is the link to our e-vite invitation > http://www.redroverstyle.eventbrite.com

The guest list is filling up quickly, and so registering early is highly recommended. I realize you are very busy, and so whatever you can do is greatly appreciated. :)

Sincerely + la,la,la,-love,

Rachael Ann

"Crobots" - I saw this in a store today, and fell in love! Anyway, this is me, getting into the groove because tonight, tomorrow, next week, two weeks from now...it's all about planning for two upcoming events--Gems Girls and now, Rescued and Redeemed Ministries. That's cool. It's super busy, but always a learning experience.

Anyway, stay tuned for these two amazing events, one happening in NYC and the other, NJ.

But before I go, let me share a little bit about how I go about hosting events.

1. Prayer

2. Focus

3. Discussion with a group of smart people

4. Jot down ideas, and organize them by thinking about what the actual event looks like

5. Come up with a plan, edit, and go for it!

6. Connect with your friends with a friendly hello, and rally up some of your best social connectors!

7. Dance funny....seriously because you can get so wired from the pressure. :)

Now, there's really more to this, and so if you're interested in coming alongside me in hosting these events, then e-mail me at info@redroverstyle.com!

la, la, la, - love,

Rachael Ann

Girls should be celebrated, not sold. I am joining this mission as an active member of the GemsGirls council to campaign for the rights of young ladies.

This campaign was launched in 2008, is led by survivors, and today there are 50K active supporters!

Girls Are Not for Sale is a national campaign with one goal: to inspire one million Americans to take easy, effective actions to nurture and empower American girls who have become victims of child sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation, and, to protect all girls from the dangers of trafficking. Inspired by the film critically-acclaimed Showtime film Very Young Girls and the survivors whose lives it chronicles, the Campaign brings the movement to protect and empower girls to cities across America through live events, grassroots action, ad campaigns, fundraising drives, film premieres, music recordings and much more. Together we can transform America into a nation where girls are celebrated, not sold.

You can get involved too!

5 Things You Can Do Today

Change in the human trafficking movement will only come when the majority of people in the world live by this basic idea – no human being is for sale and every human being deserves human rights and protection from cruelty. GemsGirls invites you to:

+ TALK about the issue with friends and family.

+ GET WIRED Join us on Facebook, Twitter and The Council of Daughters.

+ SUPPORT the GEMS Girls Fund. Donate today.

+ SHARE Invite 5 Friends to Buy This Is to Mother You or watch Very Young Girls.

+ ORGANIZE Plan a film viewing night or fundraiser to inspire others to protect vulnerable children.

In June, I'll be organizing an event to support Gems in a special way. Details will go out in our first newsletter on May 8th! Send your e-mail to info@RedRoverStyle.com to subscribe. If you want to be part of this event by lending a hand, then e-mail me again at info@RedRoverStyle.com.

la, la, la, - love,
