Volunteer staff at Katie Rose op shop at Tewantin are getting ready for the charity store’s third annual fashion parade later this month and manager Tina Grigson says, “the generosity of Noosa people never fails to surprise me. It gladdens my heart.
“They constantly donate items like every day and designer label clothing, Royal Albert and Noritake crockery and antique watches right through to books and household items like plastic spoons and forks.”
She said the fashion parade would showcase the “the fabulous clothes we have available in our op shop, including some spectacular vintage pieces from designers like Yves St Laurent as well as everyday wear.”
All the money raised will go Katie Rose Cottage Hospice in Doonan which provides palliative care free of charge to the terminally ill.
“The staging of the event– the venue, food, drinks, raffle prizes and staging– has been given free of charge by our generous donors, including our volunteers who give their time to put on the event.”
Tina said the fashion parade was an important event on the Tewantin and Noosa community calendar. “It brings people together for a fun afternoon of fashion for a good cause.”
Date, Saturday May 17 at Tewantin State School. 1.30pm for 2pm start, bubbles on arrival, high tea and lucky door prize. Admission $35. Tickets available from the Katie Rose Tewantin Op Shop, 84 Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin.
