SOUTH SHORE NAPO-NE MEMBERS
“ORGANIZE” TO HELP CRADLES TO CRAYONS

South Shore professional organizers Ann Marie Williams (Atmosphere Consulting -  Braintree,) Allison Schnipper (Professional Organizing Services - Sharon) and Laine Dougherty (Laine’s Logic - Norwell ) were among the members of NAPO-NE (New England chapter of the National Association of Professional Organizers) who volunteered their time and expertise to Cradles to Crayon on Saturday, August 2, 2008.  Members worked to sort through, inspect and organize donations of toys and clothing to ensure that the recipients get only top quality items.  New England organizers regularly work with clients to edit their belongings, suggesting charity as an option.  Cradles to Crayons is a fabulous organization to donate children’s goods.  For the professional organizers on hand it was a great experience to see the process full come full circle.
