Shellee's Garden Party (BostonArtsAcademy.org)

(Join us on Sunday, August 12, 2018 for Shellee Mendes’s Garden Party! As a member of the Boston Arts Academy Foundation Board of Directors, Shellee is very generously dedicating her birthday summer garden party to us! A portion of each ticket sold is tax-deductible. All proceeds from this event support the Boston Arts Academy Foundation. Join us for music, drinks, and food by ZaZ Restaurant & Catering! Sunday, August 12th 2:00pm to 6:00pm Braintree, MA Full location information will follow in your ticket purchase confirmation email. Join us to celebrate Shellee, summer, and Boston Arts Academy! Her inspirational approach to work and life—combined with her outstanding entrepreneurial success—may be the reason Shellee was asked to serve on the Boston Arts Academy Foundation Board of Directors last fall, and why the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce recently honored her with their 2018 Main Street Business Award! Shellee grew up in housing developments in Roslindale and Dorchester. As a single parent, she, and her two small children, lived in a Quincy shelter while she worked full-time and put herself through cosmetology school. Now, as a successful business woman and active philanthropist, Shellee works to support others in need. Shellee is the Founder & Owner of the award-winning Salon Monét on Newbury Street. As a stylist, Shellee serves a diverse and multicultural clientele. In December 2017, Shellee opened her second Newbury Street salon with a reception attended by a number of notable guests, including Boston’s Mayor, Martin J. Walsh and Boston City Councilor At-Large, Ayanna Pressley.)(Shellee Mendes-Martin)(Party)(fundraiser)(fundraising)(Joshua Mendes-Yesufu)(mom)(BostonArtsAcademy.org)
