About

Mrs. Wall founded the Ladies of Elegance, Inc. in 2004 with six dynamic women to raise cancer awareness and emphasize the importance of getting your annual check-ups on time and that the best protection is early detection against all types of cancer.  This organization fulfilled a desire to actively participate in the education, early detection, and treatment of cancer.  A desire that grew following several personal encounters that revealed the impact of cancer on the patients, family and loved ones.  Mrs. Wall grieved when her favorite aunt lost the battle with lung cancer, her father-in-law succumbed to colon cancer, and when one of her most beloved friends was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. {She is a Breast Cancer Survivor today!}  These events soon became catalysts for active involvement in educating others that the best protection is early detection against cancer!   

 

The Ladies of Elegance strive to show women that when you are in public you should always dress for success and strive to be a lady with Style, Grace, and Elegance!  This social organization has been a conduit to network with a variety of social and motorcycle organizations from neighboring states.  Social organizations differ from motorcycle clubs in only one area; they do not ride motorcycles.  However, the similarities are numerous including our desire to be a positive influence and a source of change in our community in the areas of health and welfare.  Members of these organizations have become our second family as we have formed a sisterhood and strive to be our sisters’ keeper.  We further share the belief that it is our personal and civic duty to work diligently in the community.
