Fashion forward at Twin Towns Day View Club fundraiser

THE Twin Towns Day View Club is hosting its annual fundraising fashion parade at the South Tweed Sports Club on Thursday, October 2.

Showcasing the latest Spring and Summer trends by U and I Designs, club members will model a selection of fashions for the warmer weather, suitable for a variety of tastes and lifestyles.

Twin Towns View Club president Lorraine Gilkison said it was a popular and well-attended event with the fashion on parade featuring affordable, easy-to-wear, stylish clothes for women.

“They’re not limited to age brackets or size,” she said.

“We’ve had some of the younger ladies modelling, and they look fantastic, and equally, some of the more mature ladies modelling look great.

“People are conscious of money these days, so they’re good quality and very well priced – I bought three garments last year.”

Funds raised at the event go towards The Smith Family and the club’s ongoing sponsorship of seven children in the charity’s Learning for Life program.

 

“We know that Aussie kids are doing it tough and we put the money we raise towards them,” Gilkison said.

“We communicate with birthday cards and gift vouchers via the Smith family.

“All the other View clubs around Australia also sponsor children through the program.”

The club’s regular luncheon on September 4 will feature guest speaker Rod Preston. A former employee of Australia Post, Preston, is a popular return guest and will speak on the topic, ‘My baby wrote me a letter’.

“Having seen his other presentations, he is just wow,” Gilkison said.

“He weaves stories into a theme, he’s very humorous, and has a terrific presentation – very entertaining.”

Members and new members are welcome to both events at South Tweed Sports Club.
