“What a Girl Wants” was the theme of the Greenville Business & Professional Women’s (BPW) Club guest night meeting held on October 8, 2015. The fun packed event was held at the VFW in Greenville, OH.

Debbie Niekamp and committee members Susan Shields, Gail Snyder, Susan Fowble and Peggy Foutz planned a special meeting. Many ladies who were in attendance were winners of door prizes and a huge 50/50 raffle. Vendors displayed their merchandise and the ladies had a chance to bid on several silent auction items. Debbie Niekamp introduced trained ‘cabi’ Stylist, Hope Diller, who presented a fashion show of new fall fashions that were modeled by BPW members Lindsey Gehret, Deb Smith, Peggy Foutz and Diane Delaplane. The ‘cabi’ fashion experience was founded by 12 women to bring a uniquely styled clothing line to a home setting, women receive an opportunity to hear about the hottest trends and discover their true style in the company of close friends. ‘cabi’ has grown to thousands of Stylists today and is revolutionizing the way women shop and work through its unique fashion experience and career opportunity.
