The first Elements “Add the Polish” event will be held November 13, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the fitness center, 11251 South Eastern Ave., Henderson.

Elements Fitness for Women owner, Melissa Schmidt, has supported Dress for Success for years. She comments, “I very much believe in this organization and the good work it does. As soon as we opened our center, I really wanted to host an event.”
When Schmidt contacted Dress for Success Southern Nevada Executive Director Paula Lawrence, she learned the real need is for professional accessories. “Hats, purses, belts, jewelry and shoes are what we really need,” says Lawrence. “It’s really these extras that make the outfit and make our clients feel confident and poised.” Their conversation generated the idea for Add the Polish, an event that Schmidt hopes to make an annual benefit.
