On Thursday August 11, the Joi Salon on Atlantic Ave held a fabulous fundraiser for North End Against Drugs. Salon Owner Erica Harris and Salon Manager Jessica Winterle put together an unbelievable evening to help out N.E.A.D. Along with their incredible staff, they raised over $2000 to help NEAD with programs for youth and families. The salon was packed with people having a great time, indulging themselves in some of the various services being offered that night, like Beachy Waves or a Spray Tan. There was a fantastic raffle, delicious food and a wonderful night of socializing. Several members of the NEAD Board were in attendance along with many of Joi’s regular clients and several friends of NEAD from the neighborhood.
“NEAD is extremely grateful to Erica, Jessica and their entire staff. They were amazing from the planning, to advertising and getting prizes and even cooking the food – the shrimp was incredible! We cannot thank them enough for their generosity and friendship,” stated NEAD president John Romano. “We encourage all of our friends and neighbors to stop in the Salon at 2 Atlantic Ave and check out what they have to offer. The place is totally amazing and the staff is fabulous!”
