An Analogy of a Dressmaker

 Recently I read about how geese gather in the winter for their annual flight to the south.  United together with one goal in mind... to move smoothly and quickly to their destination using the skills they have and working as a team.

Geese don't fly separately because no goose alone can go the distance. They are designed to fly in the "v" formation making it easy for even the weakest to make the long journey.  As they travel south in formation there is always a " point goose" out front, leading and setting the pace for the others to follow.

The "point goose" keeps the rest on target keeping the formation in tack.  They are the leaders. They set the example for the other's to follow.

Within the Little Black Dress Society's organization, the Dressmaker is the "point goose".  She gathers women together for one purpose, to fulfill our mission to build awareness, raise funds, and positively impact the lives of women touched by abuse.  The Dressmaker sets the pace for others to follow and stays focused on the mission, to end the abuse of women.

However, she is not alone on her journey.  She has other Dressmakers to network with, encourage, and build friendships with that make the journey all the more rewarding.

We believe that Dressmakers play a vital role in our effort to end the abuse of women and therefore are held in the highest esteem.  They truly are the "point goose" of the organization.
