Hopatcong Woman’s Club 2019 Fashion Show Fundraiser a Hit!
This year fashions were again presented by Melania’s Fashions of Randolph. Many thanks to Melania and her staff, the fashions were extraordinary and really get us all into the mood for spring to finally arrive. Perona Farms was the setting for our 12th Annual Fashion Show Fundraiser, a special thanks to the staff and cooks, who always put on a wonderful lunch for us. We held a silent auction, gave out numerous door prizes, and of course, we had many donated baskets to hold our silent auction, the big hit of the show!
A special thank you goes out to our Fashion Show committee, headed by Mary Jeanne Smith, and including Betsy Adey, Ellen Buongiorno, Sylvia Pelham, Lisa Hirschfeld, Sharon Kepler, Diane Ottman, and co-Presidents Cyndi Marinese and Pat Beach.
