Leading Ladies is the theme of the Fashion Show that will take place on Saturday, March 21, at 11:00 a.m. in the Main Deck of the Helm Club. Fashions are provided by Mainstream Boutique, located off Six Mile Cypress Drive.
Owner Seanna Pocklington shared, “We have been in our community for a little over four years. Mainstream Boutique is a franchise; each is owned and operated by women across the United States. Shopping in our Boutique isn’t just shopping, it’s an experience! We make it fun and interactive with Stylists who love helping you find what makes you feel confident. From daughters to moms to grandmothers and girlfriends, our Boutique brings every generation together with style that fits all ages and stages.”
The event is sponsored by Alumnae Panhellenic of Lee County whose major objective is to provide local sorority students scholarships to continue their education. To qualify, the sorority members must have either graduated from high school in Lee County or be attending college in Lee County. The highlight of the event is when we award scholarships to this year’s recipients. This year we will be awarding four $2,000 scholarships to deserving sorority coeds.
This year’s event will feature numerous silent auction items provided by member sororities, ranging in value from $100-$500. In addition, attendees may participate in gift card drawings from local merchants and a 50/50 Raffle. Last year, 84 attended the luncheon and $4,658 was raised from the silent auction. Ariel resident Holly Messinger is in charge of the event this year. “Our goal is 100 attendees and to raise $8,000 to fully fund next year’s four scholarships,” she said.
The lunch menu consists of a cup of Tomato Basil Bisque, a Leading Lady salad of baby spinach, fresh berries and fruit, sliced tomato, cottage cheese, boiled eggs, sliced avocado and raspberry vinaigrette, with Lemon Sponge cake for dessert. You won’t want to miss the specialty Leading Lady cocktail!
