Susanne Palmacci is a volunteer that comes once a month to WLP to cut hair.
"My experience at WLP has been a wonderful journey. Approximately 4 to 5 years ago, I was looking to volunteer, especially for an organization that focused on women. A networking friend of mine, Lisa Gosling (then Branch Manager of Century Bank) invited me to a holiday event at WLP. As I was talking to someone from the organization, I mentioned that I was a hairdresser on Newbury St. (Roffi Salon & Day Spa).
She then told me that a hairdresser was coming once a month to cut hair. A light bulb went off in my head and I told this person to "sign me up". It was the perfect combination... volunteering for women and I could use my skills to bring a little joy and beauty to the ladies of the WLP. It has been a very rewarding experience for me and in some ways, I feel everyone wants to look good and feel great about themselves.
Recently, one of the ladies took the time to write me a thank you note telling me how much she loved her haircut, and everyone complimented and remarked on her new look. She then took the time to mail it to me at the salon. That note was so wonderful and I'm grateful for her doing that. Also, Rachel and the front reception women/volunteers are so very helpful in setting up the room I work in each and every time I come in."
