Ashley, Director of Marketing, leads the girls in a brainstorming activity. They are asked to create their own Make A Wish concept cards using charms for inspiration. They came up with some great ideas! Pulling from their personal experiences, their background and education. Some of the girls quoted lines from their favorite books and others shared meaningful mantras.
