WPCNR SUNDAY MAGAZINE. By Michelle Lippin and Linda Lieberman. June 8, 2003:What could possibly hold the attention of 39 teenage girls, between the ages of 13 and 18, for an entire evening? MAKEUP and skin care presented by the professional hair and make-up artists Thomas Mannarino, Melissa Corsetti and Lisa Decarlo of Ardsley’s Salon 877.
You could hear a pin drop as the girls watched two of their cottage-mates transformed into model-like beauties by the hair and make-up artists. The onjective of the program was to teach teens how to take care of their skin and apply make-up for day-wear, job interviews or a dramatic evening out.
The evening was sponsored by theYoung Leaders Council of Westchester Region of Hadassah under their program The Real ME, Proud for ALL to See for teenage Girls living in foster care at the Graham School in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY. The Graham School is part of the Graham Windham agency, which is the oldest non-sectarian foster care program in the country, founded in 1806 in New York City.
Often, teenagers try to imitate the models they see in magazines and end up with heavy, severe results. The make-up professionals from Salon 877 showed them how they can use make-up more naturally, to highlight their best features.
When Jazzette saw herself after all was done she said, "I feel like putting on an elegant gown and going out special for the evening."
All the girls received beautiful gift bags filled with donated make-up and skin care items- in time for their prom.
The Real ME, Proud for ALL to SEE was a year-long community service project, during which the young, dynamic Hadassah leaders/ volunteers gathered health and beauty items, magazines, CDs through a gala fundraising event at Neiman Marcus, White Plains and donations from members of Greenburgh Hebrew Center in Dobbs Ferry and Temple Beth Abraham in Tarrytown.
The Young Leaders of Westchester Region of Hadassah's inaugural project, LIDZ & VIDZ for KIDZ, won the 2000 National Hadassah community service award. It involved the collection and donation of new baseball caps, videos and videocassette players and books to patients in hospital pediatric wards throughout the region.
Special thanks go to Michele Lippin, Hadassah coordinator, and Hadassah Young Leaders volunteers Barbara Rose, Karen Everett, Sharon Messing, Debbie Schwartz, Riki Falkson, Anna Miller, Gila Fortensky, Deborah Wiskind, Leslie Liss and Lisa Davidson, as well as Diane Kaplan, Westchester Region of Hadassah field consultant, and Region president Fern Tannenbaum.
