Everyone needs a new bra ... make sure you get the right one for you.... Receive a free private bra fitting. Most of us are wearing the wrong size and don't know it! Hadassah is proud to present a fundraiser event at Bra-La-La, the new bra boutique that opened in Maple Lawn. Bras are available in all price ranges. Bra-La-La will donate 10% of sales during this time to our Hadassah chapter. You do not have to be a Hadassah member to attend, so bring friends and relatives with you. It will be a fun time to socialize and have the store to ourselves! Light snacks will be served. Please RSVP to Julie Rosenthal, jrosenthl@yahoo.com, or 410-531-0128, so enough bra fitters are available for our group. Bra-La-La is located at 8180 Maple Lawn Boulevard, Fulton, MD. | |||
