About this Event
PLEASE NOTE: We are so excited about the overwhelming interest in this event! Just a reminder that photo/makeup sessions will be on a walk-in, first come-first served basis, and we will try our very best to get through as many as possible. If you aren’t able to snag a headshot (and while you wait), please take advantage of the information/resources that will be available for you. We’ve lined up more than a dozen (and counting) people to help, including career coaches, editors, financial advisers, attorneys and more. Most of all, we hope the networking and community vibe (and snacks!) will be worth your time.
Facing a government layoff or employment uncertainty? Your community wants to help.
Join us Friday, March 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Locally Crafted Workshop in Rio shopping center (35 Grand Corner Ave., Gaithersburg) for the following (all complimentary):
- Headshots with Ginny Filer photography — because a strong, confident image matters.
- Photo-Ready Makeup Touchups with Valerie Hammer Makeup Artistry — to help you look and feel your best.
- Career Services and Guidance — resumé help, job search support and more.
- Crafting & Community — because sometimes we just need to create and connect.
- Free Hugs — because support is more than just resources.
- And more resources to help navigate this difficult time.
No cost. No appointment. Just a space to feel seen, supported, and encouraged.
If you or someone you know has been impacted by the recent and pending federal layoffs, please stop by. Whether you need a fresh headshot, career advice, or just a space to breathe, we’re here for you.
And if you’d like to donate your time, expertise, or resources, we’d love to have you join in this effort to support our federal community. Let’s lift each other up.
The event is free, but if you think you’ll attend, please register so we can get an idea of how many people to expect. Makeup and photography sessions will be held on a walk-in basis.
Co-hosted by Ginny Filer Photography, Valerie Hammer Makeup Artistry and Locally Crafted Workshop.
