Oh ... What A Night!
Fashion Fascinations - Dinner, Silent Auction & Fashion Show Friday, October 21st, 2011

What a wonderful evening!  Close to 150 guests attended Fashion Fascinations, our fall fundraiser benefiting in part The Ottawa-Carleton Association for Persons with Developmental Disabilites.  Guests were treated to live musical entertainment provided by Lock Up Your Daughters (Graham Lindsey, Don Fletcher and Ian Clark), followed by not one, but two spectacular fashion shows by the talented Kanata design duo Jana Hanzel and Emilia Torabi!  A silent auction, a raffle draw, hand made accessories and a lovely meal rounded out the evening at the Hellenic Meeting and Reception Centre on Prince of Wales Drive, Ottawa. 

Thanks to our two corporate sponsors,
W H Wayne Dentistry and Sussex Telecommunications Inc., for their generous support, as well as all the local businesses who donated items and services for our auction.  Your support helped to make Fashion Fascinations a wonderful success.

Thanks also to
Angie's Models and Talent International, for providing 17 lovely professional models, and to Bruno Racine from The Loft Salon, for providing hair and make-up styling for each model.  Your generosity really gave the evening a high fashion feel.
