Follow on Google News | WBI Students and Staff Volunteer in Mayor Villaraigosa's Day of ServiceOn Saturday, June 27th, 2009, Western Beauty Institute cosmetology students and staff volunteered in Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa’s Day of Service charitable event, providing free haircuts for the city of Los Angeles and surrounding communities.
The city of Los Angeles had thousands of volunteers, cleaning, planting, and feeding the police and fire department members and many other events. WBI Students and Staff contributed their services to seniors, children and families in three locations: Las Palmas Park in San Fernando, Alicia Broadous-Duncan Multipurpose Senior Center in Pacoima, and Bernardi Multipurpose Center in Van Nuys. WBI Director of Marketing Randy Fugate said, "As I visited each location in the San Fernando Valley photographing our fabulous students and instructors giving of their time and talents, I was moved in a positive and inspiring way. You could see the joy on the faces of the children and parents. You could see the happiness on the faces of the seniors. You could feel the pride in volunteering that everyone must have felt. It was truly touching." Mayor Villaraigosa's office described the morning this way in their press release (http://mayor.lacity.org/ Despite the warm weather, many people of all ages from the surrounding communities showed up for their hair styling. Some had their nails done too. Many clients expressed their appreciation by thanking the students for their free services. At the end of the event, WBI students and staff had seen 239 clients, which was more than expected. Congratulations to Ms. Rachel for her coordination and to all the participants for offering their gift of beauty to the people of Los Angeles.
