Gale Hughes Earns 9th Mary Kay Car

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Imagine never having to pay for a car in 20 years. That’s what one Crozet woman can claim after she picked up her ninth free car Thursday evening.
Gale Hughes is a Mary Kay sales director who says her last car payment was in 1996, when she started selling Mary Kay products. She earned her first free car within two years.
She earns the cars by meeting her sales quota every six months. Thursday, she picked up her ninth car, a black Chevy equinox with the Mary Kay emblem.

“Don’t give up. It’s that idea that I know that this is going to get me through because I know that I’ve worked in other companies for the school system and I know my absolute worst day in another company, for Mary Kay this is just so awesome,” Hughes said.

Hughes is the director of an entire team of sales consultants in the area. All of their teamwork goes toward earning the free cars.

Fueled By Isagenix, Swimmer Conquers Big Swim

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
On Sunday, August 17, 14-year-old Cali broke a 50-year-old world record. She became the youngest person since 1964 to complete The Big Swim.
This year, 50 swimmers attempted to cross the Northumberland Straight, an open body of water that forms the southern part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and stretches from the shores of New Brunswick to the shores of Prince Edward Island—also known as The Big Swim with its 8.6 to 10.5 mile distance depending on the current. It’s an annual tradition for seasoned swimmers to fundraise money for Brigadoon Camp.
Cali’s goal was to raise $10,000 for Brigadoon—a camp that gives children with disabilities or chronic illnesses a chance to make connections with other children. It takes $1,000 to send one child to camp.
Fueled with Isagenix through a year’s worth of practice, Cali had one very important person in mind during her six-hour swim.
“I wanted to complete this swim for my cousin, Kevin, who died of brain cancer when he was 15,” explains Cali. “He never had the opportunity to go to camp, even though he wanted to. I want to give children these opportunities to be around others so they all know they’re supported.”
