Women in Business 2021

Please join us for our annual luncheon at Youville Place! We will be collecting items of 
clothing to donate to Uncommon Threads' Uncommon Closet. Donated items should be 
gently-used, stylish designer clothing, purses or shoes. (Sizes L and XL particularly needed.)

Our guest: Heather Gaspar is the new director for Uncommon Threads in Lawrence. She has been a part of the nonprofit world for a long time. Most recently, she spent ten years with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts, where she focused on increasing the number of Girl Scout troops and volunteers in the area as well as training and managing the local volunteer network.  She has lived in the Merrimack Valley for more than 20 years with her husband and two daughters and has been involved in the Lawrence community through Girl Scout action projects, volunteering with Cor Unum and providing fresh vegetables from her church’s permaculture garden to local soup kitchens.  Heather loves adventure travel, reading and meeting new people in order to learn their stories and to be a conduit for great connections!

“After so many years of helping to build girls of courage, confidence and character, I am excited to turn my focus to women who are in need of care and a hand up. And what better way to do it than through fashion!”
