During our annual General Manager meeting last week, five different groups worked together to help support a variety of causes in the DC area. They had the option to choose from:
- Honor Flight: Welcoming Veterans at the memorials built in their honor
- Carpenter's Shelter: Cooking a meal for those in need
- Carpenter's Shelter: Adding a fresh coat of paint to brighten the space
- National Park Service: Garbage pickup to help keep the National Mall clean
- Capitol Building: Advocating for the senior living industry
Everyone expressed such gratitude in being able to give back while spending time together in the process. Please enjoy this video highlighting our day of service in D.C.: https://bit.ly/3UKRTZL
What a wonderful opportunity to give back! I would definitely have chosen the Honor Flights option as my dad had the chance to go on one of these trips about 8 years ago. It was an amazing experience for him! Well done #MerrillGardnes!

🎆🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July and Happy UK General Election Day! 🇬🇧
Today, as we celebrate the birth of our nation and the freedoms we cherish, and as our friends in the UK exercise their democratic rights, let's reflect on the significance of freedom and the ongoing fight against human trafficking.
Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery, exploiting vulnerable individuals through force, fraud, or coercion. It's a stark reminder that the fight for freedom is ongoing. Whether in the US, the UK, or anywhere in the world, freedom and democracy must be protected and extended to all.
This 4th of July and UK General Election Day, let’s honor the spirit of independence and democracy by committing to actions that help end human trafficking:
🔹 Educate ourselves and others about the signs of trafficking.
🔹 Support organizations working tirelessly to rescue and rehabilitate victims.
🔹 Advocate for stronger laws and policies to combat trafficking.
Freedom is not just a right—it's a responsibility. Let's use our voices and resources to ensure that everyone can experience the liberty and justice that define our nations.
Happy Independence Day and Election Day! Let's work together to make freedom a reality for all. 🎇🗽🗳️

The output is only as good as how you prepare, set up, practice, collaborate and consider all the details.
Performance, in anything, largely depends on creating the most optimal environment and conditions for success. In all the years of working is design and helping to build resonating, impactful brands, I have always shared with my teams the incredible importance of pre-production. Taking care of all the details, setting everything up for the most effective, beautiful and engaging output.
This too applies to setting ourselves up for our best performance and, while, as it relates to apparel, this has largely been focused on performance wear for athletes and those engaging in an active lifestyle where performance of the apparel is key (gear for extreme weather, gear that allows full movement, gear that allows breathability, moisture-wicking, non-chafing etc), it has not (largely) translated into performance wear for your best, most supported and considered performance as a teacher, a lawyer, a CEO, a business leader, a TV presenter, particularly as a women.
The clothes that women wear for all of these roles and so, so many more, need to be as carefully and thoughtfully designed as the performance wear for a runner, a climber, a dancer - because, setting up for success, the pre-production, of getting dressed each day, should be that thoughtful, that easy and that considered. For the best, strongest and most successful performance possible. behind the desk, at the boardroom table, in the courtroom and in the TV station.
