House of Hope’s
11th Annual Fashion Show, Luncheon and
Silent Auction was held Feb. 12,
2010, at
Mariner Sands
Country Club.
 Nearly
300 guests attended the event, which
combines fun, friendship and philanthropy.
The record number of guests helped House
of Hope achieve its fund-raising goals.
The centerpiece of the annual event is
the modeling of "upscale resale" fashions courtesy of donors
to House of Hope. Randi Zabriskie coordinated the fashions
and provided the commentary. Randi is a part-time Mariner
Sands resident who owns a women's clothing boutique in
Aurora, NY, called
Jane
Morgan's Little House.
The event also included
live and silent auctions with
fabulous getaways and pampering spa packages,
plus fine gifts, entertainment packages and
restaurants. During the live auction, Grace
Towner modeled an elegant Badgley
Mischka gown donated by Michelle
Maguire. House of Hope volunteer Deb
Connett was the winning bidder.
 Another
highlight of the show was the chance to win an
exquisitely custom-designed necklace created
exclusively for House of Hope by
Diamonds by Terry.
For a $25 donation, guests could purchase a key that
could open a jewelry
box that contains a custom diamond, gold and
gemstone necklace worth about $1,850.
The winning key belonged to Diane Ballard, who
was thrilled with her prize! The modeled fashions
and more were sold after the show.
Boutique items area also always for sale at all
four of House of Hope's locations.
The event raises funds to
support House of Hope programs to provide food,
clothing, case management and emergency financial assistance to
Martin County’s struggling families and senior
citizens.
