JUNE 2015 BEACON

As the saying goes…”It takes a village to raise a child.”-- and the 2015 Fashion Splash was our baby!

The First Mates annual spring fashion show is our most important fund raiser. We raise funds for enhancements and the beautification of our island. Planning an event such as this, takes lots of commitment, thought and time. I would like to take this opportunity to show appreciation and give heartfelt thanks to our own “Sweet E”- Erin McGregor for her creativity, imagination and the mega hours that she put into making this show so successful! It was a wonderful day and everyone had a super fun time! I would also like to express gratitude to Cathy Criner for taking reservations and table arrangements. Anne Malik for recruiting and organizing the models. Debbie Lockhart my “go to” Master of Ceremonies (she makes it look so easy!). Kim Miedema our photographer who always makes us look good and happy! Jill Romatz for shlepping the Boatique across town! Our sound and music engineer- Brian Malik. Rae Ann Whyard for her blessing, Keith McGregor, Dave Lockhart, and Bob Carnaghi who gave up working at the club that day to sell raffle tickets! I would also like to acknowledge and thank our beautiful models for the time and effort they put forth. And putting “fashion” into the fashion show!
