(Determination, Integrity, Virtue...Avon!) consists of 13 members with an interesting mix of backgrounds and experiences. Three of the members speak Spanish as a first language. Another three were born in African countries. Only three are from North Carolina, and their ages range from twenty-one to the mid-50s. Allen believes diversity is the strength of sales and success. Our differences are our strength," she comments. Since all of us are different, each has something to teach and each has something to learn."

She is a principal sponsor for Imagines Build-A-Ramp festival to be held in May. Her unit will also be sponsoring a Phone-A-Thon to raise money for the birthing center at Rex Hospital this Spring. Of course, this is just the beginning. Allens ultimate goal is to establish annual fund-raisers for area churches and womens shelters. She also hopes to cross state lines and begin sponsoring national efforts to fund Christian ministries and outreach programs for women.

She does this by coaching women to meet their financial goals through Avons earnings opportunity. She also offers free makeovers and skincare consultations to teach women of all ages how to properly care for their bodies and look their best at all times.

Allen will lead a recruiting team and a group of makeover specialists to participate in this years Southern Women Show, to be held in April at Raleighs Convention Center.

With so many accomplishments in such a short period of time, one might wonder about the magnitude of this young ladys financial goals.
