Carley and Chad's Wedding Reception at P2!



Last Saturday we welcomed Carley and Chad to Perspective2 for their wonderful summer wedding reception! Studio A was beautifully decorated with cool-vintage looking tablecloths, fun flower arrangements and photos of the couple strung throughout the studio! They even had a old typewriter set up as their guest book, where their friends and family had a blast typing special notes of well wishes to them! Guests snacked on yummy sugary treats like donuts and candy bars and sipped on fancy cocktails throughout the afternoon. We wish Carley and Chad a lifetime of happiness and we really enjoyed sharing their special day with them!

ePIFanyNow "Pass it Forward" comes to P2!



Perspective2 was thrilled to welcome ePIFanyNow "Pass it Forward" to our studio last Saturday for an afternoon of feel-good fun!

Pass it Forward is an event in which local individuals come together to spread random acts of kindness to others within their own community! On the day of the event we welcomed over 50 people into our studio as well as the director and founder of Pass it Forward, Bob Hoffman. Bob and his volunteers brainstormed several options for completing acts of kindness with our guests before they divided up into teams and set off into the community.

Each person brought along with them a Pass it Forward card, which they gave to whomever they performed the random act of kindness for. Those who received the cards were then asked to keep the cycle going by performing a random acts of kindness for someone else and passing along the card to them. Two hours later, all the guests returned to P2 and shared their heartwarming stories with everyone along with the joy they felt for doing a nice deed in the community. One group cleaned up the near by river trail, another group bought ice cream cones for others at the Arctic Corner ice cream shop! Others visited nursing homes and drop off flowers to Sparrow Hospital.

It was a truly amazing event with such wonderful people! Thanks to everyone that came out as well as the wonderful people that helped to bring Pass it Forward to P2 and to Old Town, Lansing.
