BIG THANKS TO THE INCOMPARABLE LINDA VOTO WHO ORCHESTRATED THE FASHION SHOW AND TEA PARTY.
The weekend of March 28 was the annual Sabal Springs’ Fashion Show and Tea Party put on by the Arts & Crafts committee. It was again a stellar event. Linda Voto and her dedicated team of volunteers turned the event room in the Clubhouse into an elegantly appointed tearoom — it was so beautiful for all.
Six resident models volunteered to showcase clothes by Chico’s: Bobbi Kemp, Jeanne Hill, Kathy Kwaak, Mary Maher, Sue Mattson, Ann Pangori, and Melinda Tocci. Jeanine Clapp and Krisan Hahn provided color commentary to describe the outfits and announce the dozens of door prizes and raffle prize winners.
Net proceeds from the event were donated to Make-A-Wish Southern Florida. The event raised $10,090, which will go toward making wishes come true for many kids. Ten-year-old Make-A-Wish beneficiary Ever Young shared her moving story related to her years-long battle with a rare cancer. Her wish was to go to Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa in Hawaii with her whole family, which the foundation was able to grant because of people like Linda and all of the 175 Sabal Springs residents who attended the event.
There were 30 door prizes, 58 amazing baskets filled with wonderful gifts, and a grand prize of $300 awarded. Thank you again to all who attended, helped, and gathered donations, we could not have done it without each and every one of you.
Congratulations to all who won — enjoy!
