We are delighted to extend our warmest congratulations to Denise Daniels, a dedicated representative for AVON, for earning the well-deserved title of September's Member of the Month!
Denise's journey with MCABW began in January 2010 when she wanted to connect with new people and immerse herself in the local community after relocating from Phoenix, AZ. Her primary objective was to cultivate and sustain her Avon business. Denise's journey with Avon began on July 11th, 1994, when she became a part of this remarkable home-based business while residing in Phoenix, AZ.
Denise has taken on a pivotal role as an advisory board member, proudly holding the title of Photographer. In this capacity, she beautifully captures the essence of our events, which range from lunches to vibrant dinners and after-hours mixers.
Denise's contributions extend beyond her photographic expertise. At each of our gatherings, she generously brings raffle items, a gesture that aids in raising vital funds for the scholarships we award annually. Her infectious joy and positivity have become a cherished presence at our meetings, brightening the day for everyone fortunate enough to know her.
Denise's choice to align herself with Avon is not merely a business decision but a testament to her values. She appreciates Avon's commitment to quality products and its unique approach that allows representatives like her to operate without the burden of inventory. It's worth noting that Avon's founder, David H. McConnell, was a visionary who paved the way for women to achieve financial independence, a remarkable feat considering it was accomplished 34 years before women gained the right to vote in the United States. Originally known as the California Perfume Company, it was during a trip to the Strand in England that the name was transformed into the iconic "Avon." The first "Avon Lady" he enlisted was the remarkable Persis Foster Eames Albee, fondly known as Mrs. Albee.
We encourage you to explore Denise's Avon offerings by visiting her online store at www.avon.com/repstore/denisedaniels
