Brenda Miller and committee members Deb Niekamp and Gail Snyder planned a special event. Brenda introduced the special guest speaker Kirsten Berghoff, owner of Sadie Grace and manager of Readmore’s Hallmark in downtown Greenville. Berghoff spoke of her journey to downtown business ownership and the trials of opening a new business in an old structure. Kirsten talked about the benefits of buying local and encourages everyone to shop in Downtown Greenville. Berghoff opened Sadie Grace with her husband and business partner, Dennis in 2012. They are parents to Gage and Kamron who attend Tri-Village. The Berghoff’s make living and working in downtown Greenville a family affair. Both Dennis and Kirsten work at Sadie Grace and the boys work at Readmore’s Hallmark. They are much vested in Downtown Greenville.
A silent auction was held with several items donated by local businesses and BPW members. Russ Hogle spent the evening sketching a number of members and guests caricatures. To bring awareness to October’s Breast Cancer Awareness month, the majority of the ladies dressed in pink for the ‘Bring on the Pink’ theme!
