From Mickey Mouse to a day at the beach to patriotic red, white and blue, hostesses decorated tables with unique themes.
Guests were encouraged to bring their favorite tea cup to give tables a distinctive look and to wear their favorite hat. The celebratory occasion, with more than 60 members and guests, included a Damon and Draper’s fashion show featuring casual, professional and evening wear—all modeled by members: Vicki Cowan, Patricia Eskenazi, Nancy Hathcock, Valerie Klimaszewski and Theresa Murphy. Outside the ballroom, it was a shopper’s paradise with vendors selling an array of candles, jewelry, antiques, pocketbooks and accessories. Donations that were raised at the scholarship event went toward future scholarships.
