A Grand Event

Share the goods.

In the new year we had the privilege of being able to work with another woman-owned business, Grand Events LLC. Grand Events owner, Cecily Near puts on several events a year with the most recent being the Grand Rapids Antiques Market.

For 2012, Cecily brought 834 in to manage the design, public relations and sponsorship. We were able to bring in Goodwill Industries of Greater Grand Rapids as a new sponsor as well as work with Stellafly on video and photography to capture all of the unique features of the event.

For the public relations portion, the 834 team worked hard in conjunction with Grand Events LLC to promote the event. Check out the below coverage:

Fox 17 with Emily Richett
WGVU with Shelley Irwin

Not only was this a great event with great organizations and people involved, but we had a lot of fun! Did we mention that we may have found a few amazing vintage finds. To find out how you can get involved or to sign-up to sponsor next year (we promise you won’t be disappointed) go to www.grandrapidsantiquesmarket.com or email **@************lc.com“>in**@************lc.com

National Perimenopause Month starts today. We have a LOT to say, and we’re not going to be quiet about it, especially this month, so buckle up.

We were not prepared for perimenopause, much like our periods, sex, or anything else to do with our bodies. God forbid we talk about it openly.

We were taught to be ashamed, keep quiet, and to accept that it is just part of being a woman. We reject that narrative. In fact, like @bodespeaks, we want to bring it up in every conversation.

When we normalize perimenopause and the conversation around it, we stop isolating, and we’re all more prepared.
Join us for Uncomfortable Conversations: The Pause on September 24th — a powerful conversation hosted alongside the @smallbusinessassocofmichigan
Women’s Business Council, featuring some kicka$$ experts who will give you the real talk on perimenopause (more to come on them later).
