After a friendly welcome to the Rosedale on Robson Hotel, we were shown into a brightly lit suite, all set up for an evening of Spring and Summer fashion, mingling, photos, delicious food, hats, jewelry and accessories, a wonderful silent auction and door prizes. This was not only a treat but also a fund raiser to support the very worthwhile community projects undertaken by the Yaletown Rotary Club. One project, especially near to me is the funds raised for the Reading Program at Admiral Seymour Elementary, an inner city school with a big heart and even bigger goals. Rotarian spirit was so evident: several modelled dresses designed by Shelley Klassen of Blushing Boutique (579 Richards) and I saw others, in the audience, wearing these beautifully made creations. Shelley organizes many fashion events at her boutique, throughout the year, and it is always a special place to be. Styles for all of us, there, for sure! You can also see her light up the runway at Vancouver Fashion Week!
Loved the hats that accessorized each look. Goorin Brothers, established in 1895 is a family business, still going strong and no wonder why. Huge variety of styles, colors and superb hat bands and feathers. Note that the store has an evening of music and refreshments, one night a week and any time you drop in, you're very welcome to try on the fedora of your dreams, snap a selfie and get expert consultation on the look for you.
A very attractive array of Silent Auction items, made this an effective fund raiser. I made successful bids on B.C. Lions tickets and a special dinner at the new Anatoli Greek Restaurant, on Mainland. But wait, there was more, much more. Door prizes, too! Many creative minds and helping hands went into a very successful and enjoyable evening. Note that Blanche Macdonald Grads shared their time and expertise, too! Kudos all!
