In celebration of National Get Organized (GO) Month, the Professional Organizers Association of Southwest Florida (POASWFL) sponsored a community service project at the PACE Center for Girls of Lee County to help the nonprofit facility become more efficient.
On January 4, 2010, a team of professional organizers spent the day working with
Melissa Simontis, Director of Development, and her staff to purge, declutter, and organize PACE’s main office areas, files, storage areas, donations and conference room.

"Our PACE Lee Center has been open for nearly three years. In that time, we've grown and accumulated so much, but haven't had the resources to keep up in an organized manner," Simontis explains.
POASWFL members donated their time, expertise and organizing products to get the job done in just one day. The result was a well-organized facility that will benefit PACE staff, guests and students.
"After the organizing session, our staff felt as if they had a clean slate," says Simontis. "We were amazed by the energy, enthusiasm and talent of the professional organizers. They flew in like superwomen and rescued us from disorganization."
The project was a huge success and POASWFL members hope to help other nonprofit organizations in the future. "We plan to follow up with PACE to help them maintain the systems that were created," explains POASWFL President Jane Samargedlis, Designed 2 Organize. "The best part of what we do is that it’s very hands on and I feel we can really making a difference with our volunteer efforts."
