Friday Morning Message

WOW! WHAT A FABULOUS FASHION SHOW

The prizes were awesome, the food delicious and the models and clothing were beautiful!

Ginny Hutcheson, Nancy Jacobs, and Peggy McGee send their sincere thanks to all who supported this co-chaired (with QC Fights Back Relay for Life Team) event last Friday. We also wish to thank all those who donated their time and materials to make this a successful fund raiser!

After expenses for the event, $7,233 was donated to the American Cancer Society for cancer research and local support programs. The Fashion Show, in its third year, has grown from 108 in attendance to 304 attendees this year!

Were you a recipient of a raffle basket?

If you received a basket and do not have a use for it please return to TWOQC for recycling to the next event! You may bring your basket(s) to the program on the 29^th at the Madera Clubhouse or drop them off at Pam Rodger’s home at 2640 E Sawyer Rd.
