So Nice, We Did It Twice!
Fashion Fascinations - Dinner, Silent Auction
& Fashion Show
Friday, October 18th, 2012

Fashion Fascinations returned for a second successful year. Over 135 guests attended this years' Fashion Fascinations, our fall fundraiser to raise money to launch a new children's literacy program called Own a Book ... Share a Book that will benefit the kindergarten students of Robert E. Wilson Public School in March of 2013. Proceeds raised from this event will also go towards supporting our chapter's other ongoing projects and programs. Celebrity master of ceremonies Derick Fage, co-host of Rogers Daytime Ottawa, was a welcome addition this year and kept the evening light and lively by entertaining us all with his sense of humour. |
Guests were treated to live musical entertainment provided by Lock Up Your Daughters (Graham Lindsey, Don Fletcher and Ian Clark). Back by popular demand, the talented Kanata design duo Jana Hanzel and Emilia Torabi of Jana and Emilia Fashion Design Studio presented guests with two wonderful fashion shows; the first, their highly acclaimed all red Volcano Collection, followed by their Fall/Winter 2012 Collection.
The silent auction tables were groaning with terrific items again this year, a big thank you to life member Elina Takahashi for her year-long dedication to this very important part of our event. The Pot Of Gold raffle draw proved to be extremely popular again, as were the hand-made accessories on the Baker Boutique tables and our Cookbook fundraiser was officially revealed to the public. The Hellenic Meeting and Reception Centre on Prince of Wales Drive did not disappoint and provided a delicious meal to round out the evening.

Once again, a big thank you goes to W H Wayne Dentistry and Sussex Telecommunications Inc and to all the local businesses who donated items and services for our auction. Your support helped to make Fashion Fascinations a tremendous success.
Thanks also to Angie's Models and Talent International and to Models International Management for providing all the lovely professional models, and to Taryn Miller, Halley Miller and Paola Ortiz De La Roche for providing their make-up services for the models. Your generosity really gave the evening a high fashion feel.
Finally, we'd be remiss in not thanking you, our guests. Your continued support of our fundraisers have helped thousands of people in need in our community, our province and our country! Thank you for helping us to help others!
