Spring Luncheon / Fashion Show to Raise Fund for Women and Girls - Coming Up Roses

Itʼs finally spring! Soroptimist International of Novato is celebrating with a very special event - Coming Up Roses! - its annual luncheon, fashion show, and silent auction. This festive event will be held from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM on Saturday, May 14, 2011 at the Margaret Todd Senior Center in Novato. A delicious lunch will be catered by Preferred Sonoma Caterers, and fashions will be provided by Novatoʼs own Anneʼs Secret Hang-ups.

The fashion show features lots of music, dancing, and entertainment, in addition to the lovely spring clothing (thank you, Anne), modeled by well-known local women strutting their stuff!

The Silent Auction offers dozens of articles and services for bid, including baskets filled with goodies, jewelry, hotel and restaurant certificates, household items, handmade crafts, and lots of eclectic decorating objects.

Tickets for the event are $45 and can be purchased by calling 415/897-6830 or 897-8772. Tickets are also available at the Soroptimist website (www.soropnovato.org). This event sells out every year, so call soon. Proceeds benefit Soroptimist scholarships and awards, community service projects, and local charities, such as Gilead House and the Novato Youth Center. Our mission is to improve the lives of women and girls, in our local community and throughout the world.
