Fabulous, Family, Fantastic, Friends, Fun, Fashion and Fundraising.....in this case all these F's bring our report card to a shining gold star of exceeding expectations! All this of course, in reference to our 2nd Annual "A Charity for our Children" Fashion Show! With 105 people in attendance - ages ranging from the young to not quite so young - our show was deemed a success!
At $10 a ticket, plus the sale of raffle tickets for a quilt made by our very own Autumn Cole, individual donations, and a chance to win a free membership to the "Choose to Lose" program if you made an additional donation - we raised a little over $400 for each program this year! Our chosen beneficiaries of this year's show were: Quilts 4 Comfort, Project Care: Free Clinic, and the Northern Lights Clubhouse - all wonderful causes that help children through care, comfort and counseling.
Money talk aside, we're hearing great reports from our attendees. There was a lot of great fashion talk, a lot of great fashion walk, and a lot of great door prizes given away! All of our models did a great job - from our littlest, Elena at age 1 to our oldest ... well, we'll keep that name and number to ourselves! The tips included things like how to turn a sweater into a scarf, to the best colors to wear for all women, to the latest in shoe designs - have you seen them? The hoof shoe or the nail shoe? Let me personally say ugh-a-ly! But truly fun!
Let's see what else have we been up to...
