Yala Giving Back - to Children in Jamaica!
Yala® loves giving back, locally and abroad. This Saturday, June 25th, Great Shape!, a non-profit organization, is hosting a 'Jamacian Yard Party' fundraiser in our hometown Ashland, OR. Great Shape! facilitates a humanitarian dental project (1,000 Smiles), a literacy empowerment program (SuperKids), and an eye-care vision project (iCare) in Jamaica.
This local fundraiser, organized by Chairman of the Board, Kate Wasserman, has become the single largest event/fundraiser for Great Shape! Last year the event raised $20,000, 98% of which went directly to project funding.
When asked how she became interested in Great Shape!, Wasserman explained, "I was first introduced to the organization by the founder about 6 years ago while in college in LA. She started the company after Hurricane Gilbert in 1988. I was already inspired by the country's music and people, I love Reggae. So I got involved; first, just as a volunteer, then helped with different fundraisers and then became a project leader."
Start giving back by attending their fundraiser in Ashland, OR hosted by the Ashland Armory on Saturday, June 25th from 5:30 to 10:00pm. A $50 ticket will get you a delicious dinner, generously donated by Anna I. Designs and Summit Beverages, and an opportunity to bid in the silent auction on a Yala® Silk Fleece Throw or Yala® Silk Habotai Pillowcases and much, much more!
Need something to wear to the event? We’ve got it covered! Yala’s Bamboo Dreams® Maxi Skirt is perfect with our summery Bamboo Dreams® Tessa Tank Top. Add some colorful accessories, strappy sandals and get ready to give to a good cause!

Thank you Bloggers!
Yala would like to extend our gratitude to all of the amazing reviews we have received from a wonderful variety of bloggers! We were so happy to hear how much you love our products! It gives us inspiration to continue doing our best to bring you beautiful, timeless pieces : )
“The Greta Maxi Dress was not my first choice and I was hesitant in agreeing to review it because I do not like V-neck dresses but my fears were for naught. This dress fits just perfectly- it clings softly to my body with no gaping like so many similar cut dresses. Again the color is striking and this dress is the most comfortable dress I have ever owned. It is perfect to take on vacation, it practically folds up into nothing and is very light.”
– Andrea from Mommy PR
“I was stunned when I first felt the fabric of Yala’s Bradshaw Dress. It is sooo soft! I kept thinking, My! this is soft! How’s that for your perfect spring dress? You’ll want to wear a camisole with it, and perhaps leggings if you’re so inclined, but it’s a cute short dress for spring.”
– Jessica from Life as Mom
“I got the opportunity to review [Yala's] Kai Boatneck top – a classic silhouette with 3/4 length sleeves and bias trim. I wish there were a way to convey touch through the computer, because to say this fabric is soft is an understatement. I can only imagine how great this would be to sleep in. It’s a thin fabric which seems like it will be especially nice once the summer heat hits, but it would also layer really well with other pieces.”
– Christi from Frugal Novice
This silk scarf is super soft, light, airy and comfortable. I love the color. I got the Jade, which is a green color, and the color is on a gradient, so some places are more saturated than others. The length of the scarf is perfect, and this may sound cheesy, but I like clothes that make me smile. So, here’s something that hasn’t happened yet on Lucy Likes It, I don’t have any CONS!
– Lucy from I’m Lucy & I Like It

A SE Portland Favorite, Fyberworks Boutique
Cindy finds the balance between comfort and style with her favorite Yala product, the basic Cami Top.
"My favorite piece is the basic cami," she says. "It's perfect for the Northwest as a thin layer that keeps me warm and cool at the same time. I own four and could easily add to that number and not feel that I had too many. It is one of the easiest pieces to sell!"
Get directions to Fyberworks on Facebook!
Until Next Time,

Yala Giving Back - to Science!
The museum was recently nominated for the Distinguished Service Award presented by the Confederation of Oregon School Administrators for "individual or organizations outside the field of education that make significant contributions to the education of young people in Oregon."While we are lucky to have the museum in our backyard, over 86% of their visitors come from outside of Ashland."
ScienceWorks biggest fundraiser of the year is a very popular and well attended event, called The Science of Wine Gala. From 6-10pm guests dress up to sip, sample and mingle with 14 different local wineries paired with delectable food from 14 local restaurants. Four hours may seem like plenty of time, but with a raffle, science demonstrations and good company the time flies!
Feel inspired? Make sure you’re ready for ScienceWorks
