A DAZZLING SEASON HIGHLIGHT: THE GIRLFRIENDS FASHION SHOW
The fashion show remains the highlight of the season, and this year’s event was no exception. Under the skilled direction of Kara Nickolas and her dedicated team of assistants, the show was executed flawlessly and left attendees thoroughly impressed.
The ensembles were provided by Mainstream Boutique in Fort Myers, and the fashions were brought to life on the runway by Mel Borley, Wendy Cohen, Mary Jo Sorrento, Pat Van Duyn, Hilary Moleski, Sandy Renner, Jill McRae, Audrey Heaton, Regina Staudt, and Jennifer Seegers.
Darlene Polyschuk kept the energy high with a fantastic musical selection, while Sue Koser lent her talents to creating the event programs. Adding an extra layer of fun, many GirlFriends embraced the ’60s theme, arriving in cool retro outfits that were an absolute hit. Memorable moments of the show were beautifully captured by photographers Patty Accavallo and Ruth Lazarus. Be sure to visit the GirlFriends’ Facebook page to view more photos.
A special thank you goes to Alisa Cianfrani, whose tireless behind-the-scenes efforts kept everything running smoothly. The event drew a record-breaking turnout, and the staff at Grandezza rose to the occasion, delivering exceptional service with food and beverages. Events of this scale truly require many dedicated hands, and the contributions of every volunteer and supporter are deeply appreciated.
The special GirlFriends’ bracelet was proudly awarded to new member Jenny Bauerly. Also, birthday wishes were extended to the following members celebrating this month: Jody Altschule, Christine Bigley, Jane Christ, Shirley Cook, Cindy Fiddler, Patti Hafendorfer, Sue Koepp, Sue Koser, Joan Lapatin, Patty Lowe, Sharon McCarthy, Lee Nicosia, Lynn Senese, Vidu Sharma, and Susan Stanczak.
