     The Maumee Bay Club of the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women Clubs, Inc. (NANBPWC) presented two students from Westfield – Mayfair School with a “Job Preparedness” makeover on Wednesday, May 9, 2012.

     They were awarded an interview makeover which followed a creative game comprised of questions from the workshop handouts.  The students were 15-year-old Maia Colvin, a freshman, and 16-year-old Tanesha Jennings, a sophomore.

      The Maumee Bay Club collaborated with Just My Styl, and Toledo Area Ministries Suitably Attired to complete these awesome makeovers.

      The girls were given the princess treatment by a team of makeover professionals.  Roxanne D. Jones (hair stylist) donated services to create hair masterpieces. Jamie Harris of Toledo Area Ministries -Suitably Attired so generously provided the interview clothing, which the ministry received through donations from the community. 

     The Maumee Bay Club extended their sincere appreciation to everyone for their generous donations of time and service.

     These Job Preparedness Workshops are a collaboration of various programs that focus on bridging the gap for young people seeking to enter into the world of employment. The topics covered during these sessions include the following: how to juggle school/work/family, how and where to find employment, how to budget your income, how to prepare for employment and best answers during an interview. 

      The organization has provided these workshops once a month for a total of five months, each of which focused on a different topic.  This information was presented to approximately 20 female students.

     A special acknowledgement is extended to the following members of the Maumee Bay Club for another job well done.  They are Sheray Hall, Anika McCants-Brown, India Springs, Sakee Johnson and Sylvia Temple. Accolades are also given to Tiffany Hairston and Dionnica Gaston for their support of the program. 

The president of the Maumee Bay Club is Gwendolyn Wilson-Banks.  The Vice President over club programs is Pattie Poston.
