Rep. Kevin Schmidt Names Minerva Boutique for His “Business of the Month”
Lebanon, IL…After receiving submissions from across the 114th District, State Representative Kevin Schmidt (R-Millstadt) selected Minerva Boutique to be his “Business of the Month” for September. Rep. Schmidt presented the owner, Catherine Donelle Gress, with an official certificate of recognition for sharing her vision and boutique style apparel with the Lebanon community.
“Minerva Boutique is very unique and brings creative life to the city of Lebanon,” said Schmidt. “C. Donelle has turned her business into a special gathering place for customers. She affectionately refers to her customers as goddesses. For almost ten years, she has transformed her passion for style into services for women with high quality clothing, full-service styling, impeccable customer service and her own private label, Goddess Melange & Goddess Provisions.”
Minerva Boutique offers a high-end eclectic collection of carefully curated clothing, leather handbags & artisan jewelry. Additionally, C. Donelle owns and operates ‘The Rack’ which is also located in Lebanon.
Schmidt continued, “I really enjoyed talking with C. Donelle Gress and getting to know more about her business and her love for styling. She is very talented at what she does and even wrote & illustrated her first book titled “The Gourd Book”. This book was published as a tribute to her father. Thank you, C. Donelle for meeting with me and for bringing positive vibes to the City of Lebanon!”
